There was a violent earthquake For an angel of the Lord came down He went to the tomb And rolled back the stone His appearance was like lightning And his clothes were white as snow The guards were so afraid of him that They shook and became like the dead The angel said to the women Do not be afraid For I know that you are Looking for Jesus He is not here; he has risen Just as he said he would Come and see the place where he lay Then go quickly and tell his friends So the women hurried away from the tomb Afraid yet filled with joy They ran to tell his disciples That Jesus had risen from death! Sanctus! Sanctus! Dominus Deus! Hosanna in excelsis! Sanctus! Sanctus! Dominus Deus! Hosanna in excelsis! While the women were on their way Some of the guards went to the city Reported to the chief priests Everything they had seen The chief priests met with the elders They devised a fiendish plan They gave to the soldiers A large sum of money to lie Telling them what to say His disciples came during the night And stole him away While we were asleep’ If this report gets to the governor We will keep you out of trouble So the soldiers took the money And did as they were paid to do The two disciples then ran to the tomb Simon peter and john They saw that his tomb was now empty Because Jesus had risen from death! Sanctus! Sanctus! Dominus Deus! Hosanna in excelsis! Sanctus! Sanctus! Dominus Deus! Hosanna in excelsis! It was evening when Christ appeared in the room To the eleven disciples He stood among them and said: Peace be with you! Overjoyed when they saw the lord Thomas refused to believe the account Unless he could touch Christ's wounds Jesus appeared to him and then he believed Blessed are those who have not seen and still believe
