2297. He Lives Again (Burns)

1. Have you heard the wondrous story
Of the victory for God,
How the Lord of life and glory,
Sin beneath His feet hath trod?

Refrain
Sing it out, oh, sing it ever,
Till the hills take up the strain,
And the saints beyond the river—
Join to sing, He lives again!;

2. Have you heard the wondrous story
Of a wide and open grave,
Out of which the Lord of glory
Hath come forth with power to save? [Refrain]

3. Have you heard the wondrous story
Of the captive souls set free
By the Lord of life and glory,
Who hath brought them liberty? [Refrain]

4. May I tell the wondrous story,
For I know its worth so well,
How the Lord of life and glory,
Saved my soul from death and hell? [Refrain]
