Dear God, to Thine be the glory, the resurrection takes hold
For the Son as lambs was sacrificed unto Thee we're told...
The palms were laid, the tomb was closed and laid to rest
Harken the angels call as Mary boldly confessed...
Christ has died, Christ has risen again, King of Kings,
How wondrous a miracle such good news to bring...
The trupets sound, the soldiers are aghast
For they feared not what we know at last...
The Son, our God, and Holy trinity proclaims
Life everlasting for in His death no longer to refrain
Proclain your faith for we are redeemed...
Hasten to the chapels at sunrise to be seen...
Hosana loud the angels sing Hosana is Our King
Sins forgiven, washed away by His sacrificing
All to be our Lord, His Father did unselfishly provide
The way to Eternity, so our sins we need not hide.
To God and Christ be Thine glory, cheer, share the story
Of Jesus, His Life, His Love, everlasting faith, surely
Deserves no less of Thee, for God loves His Son
And what is, was, and will forever be is not undone.
Praise all the Heavens, Loud the anthems sing
For on this Easter Morning, we crowned Him King.
Rejoice, rejoice, and know with all your inner soul
That Christ's death is Life, for thousands yet told...
Spread the Word, the gospel hymns sing Thee well,
Embrace the Love, the Light, and find a peaceful
Sanctuary to embark upon your walk with Jesus
His joy is in the redemption of our sins, beseeches us...
We hear His Word, and most today obey
For with His life our sins He did pay!
Behold the garden of our innocence was plucked away
Yet on this Easter morn' we beg forgiveness, pray...
To Thine own Life, God should be the glory
For His Son's sake, disciples tell His story,
The lilly scented Heaven brings forth delight
For no long in darkness does despair rule the night.
The rays of Hope, blessed by Eternal Life renews
Our inner souls, a second chance to our Lord be true,
Do not betray His trust, nor throw lives away in lust -
For verily this time Life promises much for us.
Yea, though you have walked through troubles waters
And now been washed clean by Christ, life matters,
Make of it more than years gone by, heed this advice
And in God's powerful sacrifice of Christ have Life.
