Tune: Juda Maccabaeus
('Thine be the glory')
1 Corinthians 15 v.51-58
*********
Behold, a mystery, we shall not all
Sleep in death, but shall hear resurrection call
And we shall all be changed, in twinkling of eye
In a moment, at last trump, no more to die
Chorus
Where death, your sting? Where grave your victory?
Through our Lord Jesus Christ it defeated be
The trumpet shall sound, and the dead be raised
Incorruptible, we shall be changed, Christ praised
For this corruptible, it must sure put on
Incorruption, Changed to image of God's Son - Chorus
And this mortal must immortality
Put on, so when this corruptible, so be
Has put on incorruption, and this mortal
Has put on immortality, we sing all - Chorus
For then shall be brought to pass saying true
Death is swallowed up in victory, so do
We the chorus repeat, for death's sting it be
Sin, and strength of that sin is the law fully - Chorus
But thanks be to God, He gives victory
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, unto you and me
Therefore be steadfast, unmoveable, abound
In the Lord's work, it in Him vain not be found - Chorus
