Henceforth never Death or hell shall us enthrall; Be we Christ’s, in him forever We have triumphed over all.

They beheld the empty prison, Death in chains was captive led. 2 Sing His praises, O ye mortals, Strew the earth with vernal flowers; Jesus passes through death’s portals, Rises o’er its gloomy powers; Angel guards the way attending, Lo, He goes to dwell on high; Seraphs there, before Him bending, Chant His praises in the sky. Angel guards the way attending, Lo, He goes to dwell on high; Seraphs there, before Him bending, Chant His praises in the sky. 3 Gracious Savior, live forever, Victor o’er the prince of night; And from Thee no power can sever What is Thine by blood-bought right; Thine the kingdom, Thine the glory, Fairest of the heavenly train; Ours the joy to wait before Thee, Till we rise with Thee to reign.
