The story of the resurrection.....He is Risen....He Is Risen Indeed !!! Our hope for salvation and everlasting life....Thank You Jesus!!!
Oh sons and daughters of the King,
whom heavenly hosts in glory sing,
Today the grave has lost its sting! Alleluia!
That Easter morn, at break of day,
The faithful women went their way,
To seek the place where Jesus lay, Alleluia!
An angel clad in white they see,
Who sits and speaks unto the three,
“Your Lord has gone to Galilee”! Alleluia!
That night the apostles met in fear,
Among them came their master dear,
And said “My peace be with you here”! Alleluia!
He is Risen! Alleluia! He is Risen! Alleluia!
He is Risen! Alleluia! He is Risen! Alleluia!
When Thomas first, the tidings heard,
That they had seen the risen Lord,
He doubted the disciples word. Alleluia!
“My pierced side, oh Thomas see,
and look upon my hands, my feet";
"Not faithless, but believing be !" Alleluia!
No longer Thomas then denied,
he saw the feet, the hands, the side:
“You are my Lord and God he cried”!, Alleluia!
How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith has constant been,
For they, eternal life shall win! Alleluia!
He is Risen! Alleluia! He is Risen! Alleluia!
He is Risen! Alleluia! He is Risen! Alleluia!
