Chorus
Death has lost Death has lost Jesus Christ has won the victory Grave has lost Hope has come Jesus Christ has won the victory

Now the voice that once accused us Has no final word to speak For the One who bore our sorrow Rose in mercy, power, and peace And the life He gives His people Will not fade or be undone By the triumph of our Saviour We will sing what He has done

Death has lost Death has lost Jesus Christ has won the victory Grave has lost Hope has come Jesus Christ has won the victory
