Tune: Albinus
(\'Jesus lives! thy terrors now\')
1 Corinthians 15 v.55-58
*********
O death, where it be, your sting?
Christ His victory does us bring
Where, O grave, your victory?
Christ has triumphed over death, see
Alleluia!
The sting of death, sin it is
Strength of sin it is the law, this
Is true, but thanks to God be
Through Christ He gives us victory
Alleluia!
\'Tis through Him, our Lord Jesus
Christ, who suffered, died, rose for us
Therefore we can be steadfast
Doing good works that shall sure last
Alleluia!
Be unmoveable, always
Holding to this hope through all days
Abounding in the work here
Of the Lord, knowing He is near
Alleluia!
For this much you can know, your
Labour in him, it is ne\'ermore
Lost nor vain, bur plan, purpose
He has in each detail for us
Alleluia!
