Death Is Conquered, Hallelujah!

Representative Text

1 Wake and sing!
Jesus from the grave has risen;
Praise His name!
Unto us a hope is given;
We, some time, will escape
From death’s dark prison;
Death is conquered, hallelujah!
Christ is ris’n.

Refrain:
Sing, sing, sing!
Make the anthems swell out stronger;
Ring, ring, ring!
Let the bells now peal out longer;
Sing, sing, sing!
Let the carols rise forever;
Death is conquered, hallelujah!
Christ is ris’n.

2 Praise the Lord!
He has robbed death of its terror,
And from us every fear has gone forever;
Praise the Lord!
We will glory in Him ever;
Death is conquered, hallelujah!
Christ is ris’n. [Refrain]

3 Praise His name!
He’s the hope of our salvation;
Praise ye Him!
Every land and every nation,
Join ye now
In the song of jubilation;
Death is conquered, hallelujah!
Christ is ris’n. [Refrain]
