Oh, day of awful story-
Jesus is dead!
Sad end to hope of glory-
Jesus is dead!
Refrain
Behold the stone is rolled away!
And shining ones have come to say:
“He is not here, but is risen!
He is not here, but is risen!”
The night of death is past and gone-
Arise, and greet the glorious morn!
“He is not here, but is risen!
He is not here, but is risen!”
A weary night of weeping-
Jesus is dead!
A night that knew no sleeping-
Jesus is dead!
Refrain
A day in sorrow dawning-
Jesus is dead!
A sad and gloomy morning-
Jesus is dead!
Refrain
(Daniel Webster Moody)
