From the grave He came vic­to­ri­ous,
Our Re­deem­er King all glo­ri­ous!
Death had no pow’r to hold its prey,
For angels rolled the stone away.

Refrain

He lives, our migh­ty Head,
He lives, who once was dead!
He lives, our birth­right to r­estore,
He lives for­ev­er­more.

Roman seal and guard no long­er
Could de­fy, for He was strong­er;
The whole earth trem­bled at the pow’r
Divinely brought to bear that hour.

Refrain

Death was con­quered once for­ev­er!
We shall fear it hence­forth ne­ver!
A light is shin­ing ’mid the gloom
To guide us safe­ly thro’ the tomb.
