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.
