Hail the Risen King

Lyrics

VERSE 1
You met God’s great fury
In death You hid Your glory
Source of life, You chose to die
But death could not keep You
Its power could not defeat You
You’re our King and You’re alive

CHORUS
Hail the risen King Jesus
Hail Him who reigns on high
Hail the Conqueror and Victor
Hail our God who lives that death may die
Hail the risen King, hail the risen King
Jesus Christ

VERSE 2
Death’s broken, sin’s beaten
The powers of hell defeated
The Father’s wrath is satisfied
Now Your might and power
Give strength for every hour
You’re at work to change our hearts

VERSE 3
You’re coming, returning
For those whose hearts are yearning
For a glimpse of Your face
We’ll join with all races
Our hearts will lift Your praises
We will sing of all You’ve done
