Hymn 416 THE FIRST LORD’S Lyrics

1. They rolled a stone before the door,
As in the grave He lay;
God raise Him up, our living Lord,
And made the first Lord’s Day

Chorus:
We sing for joy, we sing for joy
With loving thanks we say
“God raised Him up, our living
Lord, and made the first Lord’s Day”

2. The birds that sang, the flowers that bloomed,
They brought no joy that spring.
Till Christ was raised from death to be
Our living Lord and King.

3. All earth is dressed in green this day,
To greet our risen Lord; We praise Him, for
He lives again, He keeps His promised word.
