ancient shepherd’s son and Lord. The great, great giant is falling. His shadow covers the earth, but he is falling. He is dead!
Christ is Victor! Death is vanquished! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Christ is risen... death is dead! The tomb is broken by light! Liberty is proclaimed to the captives of darkness! The Morning Star lifts the horizon! Night is passing! Our cup overflows! We shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever!
O death were is thy victory? O death where is thy sting?
The deceit has been exposed, and the thorn has lost its pierce. Every rose from the heart of faith blossoms beyond the prickling adversities of this world. Christ is Victor! Death is vanquished! Praise God from whom all mercies flow!
The tomb is not mute. It speaks. It proclaims! Like the vacant cross it speaks. It opens its mouth. Its seal of silence is broken.
The eternal Father sent forth a holy light and it cracked open the door... overwhelmed the darkness... reached into hell to join the conquering Christ... And lifted Jesus... lifted Jesus into life and light and victory!
And lifted His Son before all the world... and lifted His Son before the angels... before all principalities... before all the dominions!
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
The angel said “See!” The angel said, “Go and Tell!” Christ is risen! He is risen as he said!
He has come from battle, His blood soaked grave cloths are gone!
He wears a long robe and a golden girdle around His chest.
His eyes pierce with flames of glory and His voice thunders like the sound of many waters.
His face glows like the sun shining at midday. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
Satan is destroyed! The prince of this world is cast down. The sly serpent runs madly like a shadow fleeing the sun at dawn, knowing that the time is short before |
