Verse 1

Who is this man of gentleness
Rejected by the ones He loved
Why would the fount of righteousness
Let mercy flow as crimson blood

Verse 2

Alas did my Savior bleed for me
It was my sin that drove the nails
Undying love climbed Calvary
And bore the weight ‘til death prevailed

Chorus

Oh death here is your sting
To see my Savior on a tree
Oh hope where have you gone
When will you rise o setting sun

Verse 3

Light of the world hung on a cross
How could it be has darkness won
Mourners watched in holy pause
The Word of God now silent Son

Chorus

Oh death here is your sting
To see my Savior on a tree
Oh hope where have you gone
When will you rise o setting sun

Tag

When will you rise o setting sun

Verse 4

My Jesus slept God’s only Son
Passed from the cross
To bless the grave
Rest here my Lord ‘til rising sun
When morning breaks
To pierce the shade

Tag

The morning sun
Will pierce the shade
