1 ’Twas a dark and gloomy night
When our Lord lay in the grave;
We had hoped that by His might
From our sins we would be saved.
Refrain:
He arose from the dead,
And He triumphed o’er the grave;
And He knows all our need,
He’s the mighty One to save.
2 His disciples, O how sad!
All their hopes were blighted now;
Their poor hearts were filled with dread,
None could tell just what to do. [Refrain]
3 Women came at break of day
To behold His lonely grave;
Angels said Be not afraid,
He is risen from the dead. [Refrain]
4 Let us tell it far and near,
This sweet story o’er and o’er;
Tell it out so all may hear,
That He lives for evermore. [Refrain]
