Eastertide // Week 11 // May 7-13
I know that my Redeemer lives, Glory, Hallelujah
What comfort this sweet sentence gives, Glory, Hallelujah
For I had known Death’s awful sting, Glory, Hallelujah
Now Death is silent, and I can sing, Glory, Hallelujah
When trials come and tempests rage, Glory, Hallelujah
My soul is imprisoned in fear’s dread cage, Glory, Hallelujah
But there is no victory for the grave, Glory, Hallelujah
I know that my Redeemer saves, Glory, Hallelujah
That Sunday morn, at break of day
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay
But he was not there, let your voices raise
Glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah
Death, where is your sting? Your victory, O grave?
Conquered by the One who lives, by the One who saves
Glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah
