Lyrics

On the resurrection morning when our Lord shall come again,
We shall rise, we shall rise;
In the dawning of that morning, see the Lamb for sinners slain:
We shall rise, we shall rise.

Refrain

We shall rise, hallelujah! we shall rise with Him
In the air;
On the resurrection morning
We shall greet our Lord returning,
Evermore to reign.

On the resurrection morning we shall see His glo­ry bright,
We shall rise, we shall rise;
Hail our Sav­ior King for­ev­er, robed in majesty and might,
We shall rise, we shall rise.

Refrain

How the loved who left us lonely, will rejoice to see us there!
We shall rise, we shall rise;
O what singing, O what shouting when we meet them in the air!
We shall rise, we shall rise.
