Jesus the friend of sinners dies The children of Salem doth weep Thick darkness sets and veils the skies And suddenly, the earth did quake
Behold the mercy and the love Of the king of glory for man Behold what joy doth come our way Jesus who died doth rise again
Then, fear ye not, O saints of God Tell how the Lord our King doth reign, Sing of His victory o'er the foe Tell how He met and conquered death
Proclaim: ''Thou art our king for aye'' Thou who art born to save us all Ask death and say ''where is thy sting?'' And grave, ''where is thy victory?'' Amin.
