196 Easter

1. Look there! the Christ, our Brother,

comes resplendent from the gallows tree

and what he brings in his hurt hands

is life on life for you and me.

Refrain:

Joy! joy! joy to the heart and all in this good day's dawning.

Joy! joy! joy to the heart and all in this good day's dawning.

2. Good Jesus Christ inside his pain

looked down Golgotha's stony slope

and let the blood flow from his flesh

to fill the springs of living hope. Refrain

3. Good Jesus Christ, our Brother died

in darkest hurt upon the tree

to offer us the worlds of light

that live inside the Trinity. Refrain

4. Look there! the Christ, our Brother,

comes resplendent from the gallows tree

and what he brings in his hurt hands

is life on life for you and me. Refrain
