For He so loved the world,
He sent His only Son;
To pay the price for all,
Not, just for only one.

He was nailed to a cross,
Made of the strongest wood;
He died to save our souls,
His message not understood.


On the third day after death,
He arose from His grave;
He had suffered such pain,
Our souls He wished to save.

But now He is risen,
He lives to this day;
He lives in our hearts,
And shows us His way.


He is risen, He is risen,
Let us shout for joy;
Alleluia, alleluia
He has saved each girl and boy.


He is risen and still lives,
Invite Him into your heart;
Of His great family
You want to be a part.
