Text:
The Easter story! God in His glory!
Freeing all men from bondage and sin.
The empty tomb, no death or gloom,
Heaven’s gates opened for all to come in.
Alleluia to God and the Lamb!

Ancient tradition, fulfilled in His mission,
Accomplishing all that the prophets foretold.
Glad resurrection! He rose in perfection!
This Savior Divine the grave could not hold!
Alleluia to God and the Lamb!

Jesus has risen! ‘Tis a new season,
Calling all sinners to repent and come home.
Jesus was slain in the Passover’s name,
He’s now ascended to His Father’s throne.
Alleluia to God and the Lamb!

The empty tomb, no death or gloom,
Freeing all men from bondage and sin.
The Easter story! God in His glory!
Heaven’s gates opened for all to come in.
Alleluia to God and the Lamb
Alleluia, Alleluia, Amen.
