<h2>RISEN</h2> <div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> "He is risen; He is risen, Here His empty tomb you see; And He goeth as He told you To the hills of Galilee." Thus to loving, loyal women, In the centuries agone, Angel voices told the story Of the resurrection morn. </div> <div class="stanza"> He is risen! He is risen! Years hand down the glad refrain; Let the ages on to ages Waft the tidings yet again. He who near the Bethlehem manger Lowly child of earth was born, King of kings reigns all triumphant Since the resurrection morn. </div> <div class="stanza"> Christ is risen! Calvary's anguish All a lost world's ransom paid; Then, with tears, "the hope of Israel" [Pg 17] In the new-made tomb was laid. </div> <div class="stanza"> Deep and dark the desolation Falling with that night forlorn; Radiant the dawn awakening With the resurrection morn. </div> <div class="stanza"> He has risen! By this token We with Him shall rise again; Faith shall vanquish doubt and terror, Joy shall banish grief and pain. No more fear of sin's temptation, No more dread of hatred's scorn, O the glory purchased for us On the resurrection morn! </div> <div class="stanza"> Christ is risen! Bow before Him, To His courts an offering bring; Suffering Lord and Lamb victorious, Crown Him Conquerer, Priest and King. Robe of light for robe of mocking, Diadem for crown of thorn, Wears He now, and in His likeness Rise we, satisfied, immortal, In the resurrection morn. </div> </div> <hr class="chap" />[Pg 18] <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
