Scripture Verse

Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:20–22

Lyrics

The Sav­ior is ris­en for you and for me,
The Sav­ior who suf­fered on Cal­va­ry’s tree;
Rejoice, lit­tle child­ren, re­joice in His love,
The won­der­ful Sav­ior who came from above.

Refrain

Rejoice, lit­tle child­ren, re­joice in His love,
The won­der­ful Sav­ior who came from above.

The Sav­ior is ris­en that we may arise,
From sin’s gloomy pri­son, and dwell in the skies;
Rejoice in the light that this glad Eas­ter brings,
Rejoice in the love of the great King of kings.

Refrain

The Sav­ior is ris­en for one and for all,
The Sav­ior is ris­en for great and for small;
With Fa­ther and Spir­it He reigns ev­er­more,
One God in three Per­sons to love and adore.
