[Verse 1]
Do not grieve as the world with no morning in sight,
For Jesus was buried and rose into light.
Those sleeping in Christ are not lost to the grave,
The promise that raised him is mighty to save.
[Chorus]
The dead in Christ shall rise,
At the shout from the heavens, at the trumpet’s cry.
Together in clouds, all the faithful shall be,
Forever with the Lord, forever made free.
[Verse 2]
The day comes as thief where the darkness is deep,
But children of daylight must watch and not sleep.
Put faith and love on as armor held fast,
The hope of salvation will guard to the last.
[Bridge - Litany]
Comfort the faint, hold the weak, answer wrong with the good.
Rejoice without ending, pray as a people should.
Quench not the Spirit; prove all and hold true.
The faithful One calling will sanctify you.
[Outro - Final Chorus]
The dead in Christ shall rise,
And the living be gathered beneath opening skies.
Spirit and soul and the body preserved,
Forever with Jesus, the Lord we have served.
