Sheet music
- 1Come, see the place where Jesus lay,And hear angelic watchers say“He lives, Who once was slain:Why seek the living ‘midst the dead?Remember how the Savior saidThat He would rise again.”
- 2O joyful sound! O glorious hour,When by His own almighty pow’rHe rose and left the grave!Now let our songs His triumph tell,Who burst the bands of death and hell,And ever lives to save.
- 3The first begotten of the dead,For us He rose, our glorious Head,Immortal life to bring;What though the saints like Him, shall die?They share their leader’s Victory,And triumph with their King,Amen.
