rising from the ashes – v3

Christ rising, triumphant,
from the ashes, from the grave,
not bound by the earth
by the sin of this world,
the chains we gave Him;
Rising triumphant
to heaven above

Our spirits rising with Him
from the grave, the dead,
rising from the ashes
from the empty tomb
our hope eternal;
A way to heaven,
at the end of this life
