My Saviour’s body lay Where we shall rest that day When, borne to realms of light, Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb; But soon his hopes were shattered, His boast was turned to gloom. For Christ again is free In glorious victory; A hero...

1 O death, where is thy cruel sting? O grave, how canst thou harm us? Thou Satan rage, what evil thing Can hurt us or alarm us? All praise to God, the battle’s done, A great and glorious victory won Through Jesus Christ, our Saviour. 2 How furiously the serpent raged As he with Christ contended, With might and guile the battle waged; But now his rule is ended. Though sore he bruised the Saviour’s...
