Text Based On 2 Corinthians Chapter 13
For though he was crucified through weakness,
yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also
are weak in him, but we shall live with him by
the power of God toward you.

The Blessèd News!

My blessèd Lord was crucified,
The day was dark, and grief was wide,
For hope was crushed and all seemed vain,
Until my Savior rose again.

Refrain
Ring out the blessèd news again!
Oh! bear aloft the strain;
My mighty Lord is risen in power,
He died, but not in vain!

He brings His great salvation nigh,
And on His love bids us rely;
He bought our peace through grief and pain;
But oh! He did not die in vain!

Refrain

O, wondrous news of life and love!
That Jesus lives and reigns above!
He made the path to glory plain;
Ah, no! He did not die in vain.
