Rise my soul, the Lord is risen, come behold the empty grave
See the place where darkness laid Him, sing for only hope remains
Hallelujah, praise forever, death defeated and life restored
By that great immortal power, Christ is risen, arise my soul
Rest my soul, the Lord is risen, love's redeeming work is done
Now the Father sees his children as He sees His sinless Son
Oh the wonder, oh the glory that same favor is now my own
Shame behind me, grace before me, Christ is risen, arise my soul
Arise my soul, arise my soul
Arise my soul, arise my soul
Peace my soul, the Lord is risen, come and have your hope renewed
For this trial is brief and fleeting, tears will turn to glory soon
Shout with joy and sound the triumph, let the music of heaven roar
Let the boast of death be silent, Christ is risen, arise my soul
Arise my soul, for I am risen, seated now with Christ, my Lord
As my life belongs to heaven, fear shall hold its sway no more
Onward, upward, toward the treasure, filled with courage and endless hope
For this truth is mine forever, Christ is risen, arise my soul
For this truth is mine forever, Christ is risen, arise my soul
