Lyrics

Death hath no ter­rors for the blood bought one,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
The boast­ed vic­t’ry of the grave is gone,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!

Refrain

Jesus rose from the dead,
Rose tri­um­phant as He said,
Snatched the vic­t’ry from the grave,
Rose again our souls to save—
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!

Our souls die dai­ly to the world and sin,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
By the Spi­rit’s pow­er as He dwells with­in,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!

Refrain

We seek a ci­ty far be­yond this vale,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
Where joys ce­les­ti­al ne­ver, ne­ver fail,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!

Refrain

We’ll then press for­ward to the heav’n­ly land,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
Nor mind the trou­bles met on ev’ry hand,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!

Refrain

We’ll rise some day just as our Sav­ior rose,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
Till then shall death be but a calm re­pose,
O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
