About this Hymn
The title of this celebratory new Easter hymn finds inspiration from George Herbert's seventeenth-century poem "Rise, Heart, Thy Lord Is Risen." It considers how the resurrection impacts the emotional well-being of the soul by navigating the themes of shame and sorrow, as well as courage and hope.
Lyrics
Verse 1
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!
Verse 2
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!
Verse 3
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!
Verse 4
Rise, 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!
