Night had settled in Judea
Death had claimed the crucified
But the stone rent from its mooring
Where the Son of God was held.
Soldiers kept a careful vigil
Pilate's seal could not be torn
But the power of God descended
On that early Easter morn.
Jesus rose the mighty victor
Death no longer held its prey
Captive souls once held in bondage
Were released on Easter day.
Saints and angels join the chorus
Christ has risen from the dead
Heaven echoes back the story
He has risen as He said.
Chorus
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
He has risen as He said.
--B. Pent
