v.1 He died! The great Redeemer died,
v.2 Come, Saints, and drop a tear or two
v.3 Here's love and grief beyond degree;
v.4 The rising Lord forsook the tomb.

And Israel's daughters wept around.
For him who groaned beneath your load;
The Lord of glory died for men.
In vain the tomb forbade him rise.

A solemn darkness veiled the sky;
He shed a thousand drops for you,
But lo! what sudden joys were heard!
Cherubic legions guard him home
C G Gadd9 C F C Csus4 G Csus4 C
A sudden trembling shook the ground.
A thousand drops of precious blood.
The Lord, though dead, revived again.
And shout him welcome to the skies.
