Tune: St Clement
(\'The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended\')
1 Corinthians 15 v.51-57
**********
Behold, a mystery to us shown
A hidden truth shall be made known
We shall no all sleep in death, but shall
All be changed, we may know it well
In a moment, in twinkling of eye
It shall no linger by and by
For at the last trumpet, it shall sound
The dead shall be raised, so be found
And we shall be changed in that instant
Hope of repentant, penitent
For this corruptible must put on
Its new state of incorruption
And this mortal, it must put on, see
Its life of immortality
Then shall be brought to pass the saying
Truth of it shall to all things ring
Death is swallowed up in victory
O death, where your sting, where it be?
O grave, where is your victory? We
Overcome through Christ, bold and free
The sting of deah is sin, and strength so
Of sin, it is the law, we know
But thanks to God, us victory gives
Through His Son Jesus, so each lives
