In sheer desperation the darkness tried to quench the Light
hiding Him in a borrowed tomb away from this world's sight.
For three days it bound Him and heavens angels held their breath.
But now in glorious triumph, He broke the chains of death.

The cold prison gates of Hell have been burst open wide
and Death has been conquered by Christ the Crucified.
Satan's dark domain was ended by Loves pure sacrifice.
For Jesus has now risen in the power of an endless life.

He's alive! He's alive! He has risen from the dead.
The Lord Jesus Christ has risen just like He said.
He's alive! He's alive! He's alive for evermore.
Yes! He's won the victory, and has opened heavens’ door.
