CHORUS Hallelujah: for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord,
and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah!
*Part III*
AIR (Soprano) I know that my Redeemer liveth,
and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth;
and though worms destroy this body yet, in my flesh shall
I see God. For now is Christ risen from the dead,
the firs-fruits of them that sleep.
CHORUS Since by man came death,
CHORUS By man came also the resurrection of the dead.
CHORUS For as in Adam all die,
CHORUS Even so in Christ shall all be made alive
RECITATIVE. (Accompanied - Bass) Behold, I tell you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep; but we shall all be changed in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
AIR. (Bass) The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall
be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on immortality.
RECITATIVE (Alto) Then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written; Beats is swallowed up in victory!
DUET (Alto and Tenor) O death, where is thy sting?
O grave! where is thy victory? The sting
of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law.
CHORUS But thanks be to God, who giveth
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
AIR (Soprano) If God be for us, who can be against us?
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?
It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again, who is
at the right hand of God, who makes intercession for us.
and hath redeemed us to God by His blood,
to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and
strength, and honor, and glory and blessing
. Blessing and honour, glory and power, be unto
Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb,
for ever and ever. Amen.
