Freely You bled, for us

Is dus­ty and dry,
When we hear the Bride­groom cry,
From out the tomb the Sav­ior comes,
Give to God, the Fa­ther, glo­ry!
Oh, praise the One who paid my debt
If there is no resurrection,
On that last great day

For us re­signed His breath,
Shall ap­pear—the grave shall give

the dead

Trampling over death by death
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
’Neath the storms of the sky;
We’ll be changed to life im­mor­tal,
From out the tomb the Sav­ior comes,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Oh, praise the One who paid my debt
Christ Himself would not be living,
On that judg­ment day,
Their dis­em­bo­died spir­its dwell;
And dy­ing con­quered death;
And the eter­nal Judge des­cend.
