Immanuel has triumphed o’er death and the grave!
2. Praise to the Conqueror; oh, tell of His love!

The scepter lies broken that fell from his hands;
His dominion ended, the Lord is arisen;
The helpless shall soon be released from their prison.
Praise the Redeemer, almighty to save;
Immanuel has triumphed o’er death and the grave!
