He lives no more to die Lyrics: 1 Sing, O my soul, repeat the olden story, Christ on the cross is slain for guilty men; Low in the grave, behold the Lord of glory, Shout, shout the victory! He liveth again! Chorus: Christ hath arisen! He lives no more to die; Christ has arisen! He pleads for us on high; Tell of His might, and praise His holy name, Oh, let the ransom'd ones His great love proclaim. 2 Spread, spread the news of Jesus' resurrection, Tell how the stone was quickly rolled away; Death could not hold its King in meek subjection, Come, see the empty tomb where once Jesus lay. [Chorus] 3 O risen Lord, o'er life and death victorious, Look from Thy throne on all who trust in Thee; By all Thy might, by Thine ascension glorious, Thou art exalted our Redeemer to be. [Chorus] 4 He will return! His promise stands recorded; Each eye shall see and ev'ry heart shall burn; Still watch and wait, till faith and hope rewarded, Sound out the triumph-note to greet His return.
