In the tomb so cold

In the tomb so cold they laid Him,
death its victim claimed;
powers of hell they could not hold Him-
back to life He came!
            Christ is risen,
            (Christ is risen),
            death has been conquered,
            (death has been conquered),
            Christ is risen,
            (Christ is risen):

            He shall reign for ever!

Hell had spent its fury on Him,
left Him crucified;
yet by blood He boldly conquered,
sin and death defied.
            Christ is risen,,,,

Now the fear of death is broken,
Love has won the crown.
Prisoners of the darkness - listen,
walls are tumbling down!
            Christ is risen....

Raised from death, to heaven ascending,
Love’s exalted King:

let His song of joy unending

through the nations ring!

            Christ is risen....
