Raise your joys and triumphs high; sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply. Love’s redeeming work is done, fought the fight, the battle won: lo! our sun's eclipse is o'er; lo, he sets in blood no more. 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ has burst the gates of hell. Death in vain forbids him rise; Christ hath opened paradise. Lives again our glorious King: where, O death, is now thy sting? Once he died our souls to save; where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ hath led, following our exalted Head; made like him, like him we rise; ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hail! the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to thee by both be given; every knee to thee shall bow, risen Christ triumphant now. --- CHINESE (MANDARIN) - Jī Dū Yē Sū jīn fù shēng, Hā lì lù yà!
