‘Twas at the break of day when women came with spices to anoint our Lord,

And walking to the tomb, said “Who will move the mighty stone that bars the door?”

Then, behold, they found no stone; but a man was standing there instead,

Dazzling bright in raiment white, saying “Jesus is not dead!


“He is not here! He is risen! See, the tomb is empty where He lay.

He is not here! He is Risen!” Jesus rose on Easter Day.


When John and Peter heard the strange account, they doubted that it would be true;

But running there to find the empty tomb, they suddenly believed it too.

In the place where Jesus lay sat the burial clothing of the dead,

Laid aside, like death denied, for He was no longer dead!


“He is not here! He is risen! See, the tomb is empty where He lay.

He is not here! He is Risen!” Jesus rose on Easter Day.


See the tomb is empty, He is risen! Jesus Christ is risen, Alleluia!

For Jesus Christ is risen from the dead!

And so we do proclaim on Easter Day that Jesus is not in the grave;

But risen from the dead, just as He said, in majesty and power to reign.


“He is not here! He is risen! See, the tomb is empty where He lay.

He is not here! He is Risen!” Jesus rose on Easter Day.
