death hath no terrors

death hath no terrors for the blood bought one,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!
the boasted vict’ry of the grave is gone,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!

refrain

jesus rose from the dead,
rose triumphant as he said,
snatched the vict’ry from the grave,
rose again our souls to save—
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!

our souls die daily to the world and sin,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!
by the spirit’s power as he dwells within,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!

refrain

we seek a city far beyond this vale,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!
where joys celestial never, never fail,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!

refrain

we’ll then press forward to the heav’nly land,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!
nor mind the troubles met on ev’ry hand,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!

refrain

we’ll rise some day just as our savior rose,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!
till then shall death be but a calm repose,
o glory hallelujah to the lamb!

refrain
