Rise of the King

Verse 1

Lo, the stone is rolled away,

The tomb lies empty on this day.

The Lord is risen, as He said,

He lives who once was with the dead.

Chorus

Arise, O King, with triumph crowned,

The gates of death are stricken down.

Lift up your heads, ye ancient doors,

The King of Glory lives evermore.

Verse 2

Behold His hands, His feet, His side,

The Lamb once slain, now glorified.

He trampled hell, He crushed the grave,

The Risen One, mighty to save.

Chorus

Arise, O King, with triumph crowned,

The gates of death are stricken down.

Lift up your heads, ye ancient doors,

The King of Glory lives evermore.

Bridge

O death, where is thy sting this morn?

O grave, thy vict’ry is o’erworn.

For Christ is risen, firstborn from death,

He reigns eternal, Life and Breath.

Final Chorus

Arise, O King, enthroned on high,

Ascended now beyond the sky.

Let every tongue and nation sing:

All glory be to Christ the King.
