1 His battle ended there, death was overcome.
Jesus, alive again, wore the Victor's crown.
Clearly sin had failed, goodness had prevailed,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.

2 Dread powers of death and sin had him in their hold.
When Jesus rose again all their plans were foiled.
Jesus lived again, triumphed over sin,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.

3 Dead in the grave he lay; mourned by every friend.
Those dark and fearful days then did reach their end.
God raised him to life, victor in the strife.
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.

4 He burst the chains of sin, opened death's dark jail.
God filled him with new life, life that could not fail.
Right before their eyes Jesus did arise,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.

5 Lord, by the pains you bore in your darkest hour,
free us from fear of death, and from all sin's power.
May we with you live, to you ourselves give,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
