"To the counselors of peace is joy.... Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad" (Proverbs 12:20,25). "And He [Jesus] said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?.... And they rose up the same hour... saying, The Lord is risen indeed!" (Luke 24:17,33,34).
Shake off your heaviness! Haven't you heard?
Now run to the tomb with great speed!
Counselors of gladness: Spread the good word!
Christ Jesus is risen indeed!
Joy has invaded and conquered the grave;
It's just as the Savior decreed!
Counselors of peace declare He will save:
Christ Jesus is risen indeed!
Sorrow departs as we joyfully sing
That Death surely couldn't succeed,
For Death has been robbed of its horrible sting:
Christ Jesus is risen indeed!
What is this manner of sad conversation?
From sorrow you may now be freed!
Turn to the Savior and Lord of salvation:
Christ Jesus is risen indeed!
