HE IS RISEN


Where is He who was brought in?
Carried dead from Calvary Hill
His body wrapped in death shroud
And in this tomb lay stiff and still

Three days ago His blood was spilled
Death’s dark hand came to close His eyes
And in triumphant call, it is finished
A suffering Saviour bows His head and dies

Dark the tomb where He was laid
Its coldness wrapped Him there alone
And to its doorway to seal forever
They closed Him in with mighty stone

And now the question, who will answer
Where is He who quietly lay?
An angel spoke, He is risen
To let you see God rolled the stone away

For it could never seal Him in
Death could not keep Him in its hold
Why seek the living among the dead
See His death shroud lying in empty fold

Then rejoice, for He is living
Lift your hearts from deep despair
Soon the clouds of sky will welcome up
The Son of God ascending in the air

Tell to now a world of sinners
There is release from sins dark prison
Hope and life in Him simply because
Jesus Christ the Lord is risen!
