Now and ever!
Praise Him all beneath the skies!
Prostrate lying,
Suffering, dying,
On the cross, a Sacrifice:
Victory gaining,
Life obtaining,
Now in glory He doth rise.
2 All is finished,
And accomplished;
Christ is now our Righteousness
He our Saviour,
Hath forever
Set us free from dire distress.
Through His merit
We inherit
Light and peace and happiness.
3 We're delivered,
Our bonds severed,
Christ hath bruised the serpent's head;
Death no longer
Is the stronger,
Hell itself is captive led.
Christ hath risen
From death's prison,
O'er the tomb He light hath shed.
4 Praise forever
For His favor
Unto God the Father sing;
Praise the Saviour,
Praise Him ever,
Son of God, our Lord and King;
Praise the Spirit,
Through Christ's merit.
He doth us salvation bring. Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: UPP, MIN TUNGA
