151. Victory O'er the Grave

1 Grave where is thy vic’try? Death where is thy sting?
Jesus rose in triumph! glory to the King!
Sound the blessed tidings! Jesus lives again!
Death forever vanquished! shout the glad refrain!

Refrain:
Glory be to God! Jesus loves! Jesus lives!
He’ll redeem the lost! He forgives! He forgives!
Grave where is thy vict’ry? Death where is thy sting?
Jesus lives triumphant! let His praises ring!

2 Jesus died in anguish on the cruel tree!
But He rose Hosanna! brings us liberty!
Victor! King supernal! glorious in might,
Jesus brings His people everlasting light. [Refrain]

3 Glory in the highest! shout the grand refrain
Bear abroad the message, Jesus lives again!
Heav’n and earth in chorus, join in songs of praise,
Unto our Redeemer hearts and voices raise. [Refrain]

4 Jesus only Jesus, still our song shall be,
Jesus loves His people, He doth set us free,
Nevermore in bondage sin can us enthrall,
Christ our blest redemption hath reclaimed us all. [Refrain]
