All through the night
a storm had been ragin'
And now just before dawn
As the Earth trembled
with thunder and lightnin'
Winds blew as they had
never blown
A soldier so troubled
sat there in silence
Never had he known
such a foe
Then the dark clouds
moved away
And unveiled a new day
Relieved he watched
as the Son rose
Then the Son rose
What a beautiful scene
The Earth was smiling
Night was all gone
Like a bad dream
Oh the Son rose
Darkness had fled away
Just as before
Night was no more
As the Son rose that day
At a quiet tomb site
not far from Golgatha
The Night wept
because of the loss
For two days before
This world's dear Savior
had been taken down
from a cross
The guards at a distance
were keepin' a vigil
Not caring that He died
I suppose
But the cold cold silence
was broken this morning
The stone rolled
And the Son rose
Oh the Son rose
What a beautiful scene
Heaven was smiling
Angels were singing
Praise to the King
Oh the Son rose
Grave clothes were put away
It will never be the same
For He rose again
And is living today
Yes the Son rose
Oh the Son rose
God's Son rose
