The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#201

201. Resurrection

Quartet:
1 They crucified my Lord,
Laid Him in the tomb,
Now lies the Son of God
In death's sable gloom.
The Man of grief and toil
There in silence lies;
Death has within its cell
God of earth and skies.

Duet:
But, behold, there was an earthquake,
For from heav'n there came an angel,
With a countenance like lightning,
And a raiment white as snow.

Semi-Chorus:
When at dawn came Mary Magdalene,
'Twas the angel's voice which said:
"Lo! He is not here, but risen!"
Christ is risen from the dead.
He who for the world's salvation bled,
Now is risen, risen from the dead;
Glory, honor we will ever sing,
Praise to our risen, risen King.

Full Chorus:
Hallelujah, sing, with hearts to heav'n and voices raise,
Ever shout, ye ransomed ones, for you His blood was shed;
Sing a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise,
Christ the Lord is ris'n indeed, is risen from the dead.
