193. Forevermore

1 From the grave He came victorious,
Our Redeemer King all-glorious!
Death had no pow’r to hold its prey,
For angels rolled the stone away.

Refrain:
He lives, our mighty Head,
He lives, who once was dead!
He lives, our birthright to restore,
He lives forevermore.

2 Roman seal and guard no longer
Could defy, for He was stronger;
The whole earth trembled at the pow’r
Divinely bro’t to bear the hour. [Refrain]

3 Death was conquered once forever!
We shall fear it henceforth never!
A light is shining ‘mid the gloom
To guide us safely thro’ the tomb. [Refrain]
