Chorus of Angels

Christ is arisen!

Speechless His love.
Who to Earth’s prison

Came from above,
Trials to prove.

Now is He risen!

Chorus of Youths

Death’s gloomy portal

Now hath He rended,—
Living, immortal,

Heavenward ascended;
Freed from His anguish,

Sees He God’s throne;
We still must languish,

Earthbound, alone.
Now that He’s reft us,

Heart-sad we pine;
Why hast Thou left us,

Master divine?
