Jesus from the tomb has come;
He to death did not succumb;
One another comfort, then
Praise His name in unison.
Now redemption's work is done;
Foe He's fought and overcome.
Once for all our sins He bore,
Now He suffers nevermore.

Now He suffers nevermore.

Hades, boulder, soldiers 'round—
None could harm or hold Him down;
Though He briefly suffered pain,
We eternal blessing gain.
He who died can die no more;
Satan's scheming days are o'er;
Since an empty tomb we see,
Countless tombs shall empty be.
None could harm or hold Him down;
Though He briefly suffered pain,
We eternal blessing gain.
He who died can die no more;
Satan's scheming days are o'er;
Since an empty tomb we see,
Countless tombs shall empty be.

From the grain of wheat that died,
Many grains were multiplied;
Once He was the only one;
Now the church He has become.
As His Body with our Head,
To the heavens we ascend;
With Him buried, with Him soar;
Praise His name forevermore.
Many grains were multiplied;
Once He was the only one;
Now the church He has become.
As His Body with our Head,
To the heavens we ascend;
With Him buried, with Him soar;
Praise His name forevermore.

Delighted to see and sing this hymn in English! Always thought this was a Chinese original, but not anymore.
"Empty tomb is what we see,
Soon all graves shall empty be." - what a simple yet powerful declaration of the Christian faith and the Christian hope of resurrection at the Lord's return! Would like to know the author of this hymn.
