The Cyber Hymnal ‎#15561

15561. Twine the Easter garland

1 Twine the Easter garland,
Deck the grave with flowers;
Jesus Christ hath conquered
Death’s enthralling powers;
Satan, sin and sorrow
Lie beneath His feet;
Christians, raise your voices,
Sing His triumph sweet.

Refrain:
Twine the Easter garland,
Deck the grave with flowers,
Jesus Christ hath conquered
Death’s enthralling powers.

2 Like a mighty victor
Rose the Lord that morn;
Brighter light and purer
On this earth was born;
Rays of hope and mercy,
Round His form are shed;
Scattered doubt and showered
Glory on the dead. [Refrain]

3 Faith, a ray of glory,
Shows the empty tomb
And the many mansions
Of the Savior’s home,
Where the saints were resting,
After death and grave:
Christians, we can conquer
Sing His power to save. [Refrain]
