WHERE IS YOUR STING, O DEATH?
Where are your threats, O grave?
Swallowed up in victory,
by the prince of life of who saves.
Death couldn’t hold him down,
The stone had to roll away.
Hail now the conqueror,
Hail his resurrection day.
Now your power has set me free.
Now your blood has mad me clean.
you have made my heart sing.
(Leader) Hallelujah! (all) Hallelujah!
(Leader) He has risen! (all) He has risen!
(all) In anthems of praise he is exalted now.
Now God has raised him up,
Seated in majesty.
Reigning for ever more,
Clothed in immortality.
Let every tongue confess,
Jesus is Lord of all.
His justice knows no end,
His kingdom shall never fall.
