11788. Day Of Wonder

1 He is risen—day of wonder,
Day when death itself was slain!
Like a grandly swelling thunder
Sounds the word, He lives again.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Praises to the Lamb we sing,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hail to our victorious king!

2 See His royal banner waving,
On the bloodstained field of strife!
There, for humblest hearts that love Him,
Jesus bought eternal life. [Refrain]

3 Blessed Jesus, living Savior,
Thou art risen from the grave;
We are trusting in Thy favor;
Thou art mighty now to save. [Refrain]
