211. Broken Is the Seal

1 Broken is the seal of death that bound
The tomb where Jesus lay;
For, lo, the angel of the Lord came down
And rolled the stone away.

Refrain:
The Lord arose! from death He came
A mighty Victor, praise His name.
He lives! behold the empty bed
That pillowed once His sacred head;
He lives, our Lord who once was dead.

2 Gone from death forever is its sting;
To life ‘tis now the door;
The grace had not the pow’r to hold our King—
He lives forevermore. [Refrain]

3 He in triumph from the grave arose,
And thro’ the grace He gives,
We, too, may rise above the last of foes,
And live as now He lives. [Refrain]
