Earthquake shakes the holy city -
"It is finished!' is his cry.
Dying hopes and crumpled spirits
watch to see their Master die.
Glory! Glory in the highest!
Christ is risen from the dead,
over death and sin victorious!
Glory in the highest heaven!
See! The garden tomb is empty
where his body had been laid!
Now the Saviour comes to greet us,
lead us on in love and grace.
Glory! Glory in the highest!
Christ is risen from the tomb,
humbled once, now see him glorious,
mighty victor, strong to save!
Darkness shrouds our troubled planet.
"Peace on earth" - we need some, Lord!
Dumb to sing your praise and glory,
deaf to hear your gracious call!
Christ is risen! Glory! Glory!
Sound the news of saving grace
to dispel encircling darkness
and instill his offered peace.
