Tis sweet solemn day
Essence of our claim
Pillar if our hopes
He took the blame for us
Was shamed for us by us
Scorned by the ones He loved
Had every cause to abhor
Yet chose not to see the need to
And instead bore the pain
The disgrace, the shame
He looks on us; eyes filled with love
Blood-dripping, skin-ripped love
Then came our end..
End to sorrow and suffering
To sickness and cursing
Hallelujah He’s risen!
Our salvation is sealed
And death is grieved
For it could not hold him
He rose to glory
He’s alive through all generation
And in minds that savor this salvation
Tis sweet solemn day
Is the essence of our claim
Happy Easter to you all
