(Verse 1)

Through the dark of early dawn, to the tomb I made my way,

My beloved Lord lay still beneath the cold stone gray.

Did I tarry far too long? My hurried steps did fly,

To find the empty sepulchre and weep beneath the sky.

(Chorus)

Oh, amazing grace, my Jesus lives again!

Before my very eyes, the risen Lord of men!

Sorrow turns to joy, tears of rapture freely flow,

Forever I will sing, the Christ who overcame all woe!

(Verse 2)

Supposing him the gardener, I asked where He was laid,

My yearning, heartfelt question with a gentle voice was swayed.

"Mary," He then called my name, and then my eyes could see,

The one my soul had longed for, my Jesus, alive and free!

(Chorus)

Oh, amazing grace, my Jesus lives again!

Before my very eyes, the risen Lord of men!

Sorrow turns to joy, tears of rapture freely flow,

Forever I will sing, the Christ who overcame all woe!

(Verse 3)

With joy I ran to tell the news to those who held Him dear,

That death could not prevail, our risen Lord is here!

No more shall sorrow bind us, eternal hope He brings,

To the resurrected Jesus, my grateful heart now sings!

(Chorus)

Oh, amazing grace, my Jesus lives again!

Before my very eyes, the risen Lord of men!

Sorrow turns to joy, tears of rapture freely flow,

Forever I will sing, the Christ who overcame all

woe!
