Lyrics
Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead, the third day even as He said,
and He has canceled sin's dread curse the tomb stands open wide!
He is victor over the grave, He tasted death then made it slave,
and we are freed from guilt and shame the tomb stands open wide!
Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?
Thanks be unto God, who gives us the victory through our Savior,
Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ!
He is victor over the grave, He tasted death then made it slave,
and we are freed from guilt and shame the tomb stands open wide!
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not contain Him,
the darkness could not cover Him, He arose, He arose, He arose!
Christ the Lord is risen from the dead, the third day even as He said,
and He has canceled sin's dread curse the tomb stands open wide!
He is victor over the grave, He tasted death then made it slave,
and we are freed from guilt and shame the tomb stands open wide!
The tomb stands open wide! Hallelujah!
