Very Early Sunday Morning - Hymn Lyrics

Very early Sunday morning
Before the dawn’s light appeared
(Jesus is risen declaring
Victory no more defeat)2

Refrain:
Resurrection is my song
Resurrection gave me life
(Resurrection made me strong
Jesus my Lord is alive)2

His majesty defeated death
He rolled the big stone away
(And from the mouth of the tomb appeared
His beautiful and splendid light)2

The first of those who have fallen asleep
And the Giver of life has risen victoriously
(He has surely resurrected
He resurrected from the dead)2

All the swords of victory were raised
Above the heads of the enemies And the soldiers of evil fled
Running before the everlasting One

You rose from the stony grave
You Who is the rock forever
Offering an eternal palace
To those where in the tombs

All people have come back
Witnessing to Your resurrection
Heaven and earth have declared
Truly risen, risen, risen

All the heavenly hosts
Have met the Lord of hosts
With glorious hymns
In the eternal heaven

They entered the high glory
With the hymns of grace
The Messiah was their song
Who rose and conquered Hades
