I love this hymn, it makes me reflect on the death and ressurection of our Lord Jesus. The verse three gives me assurance that death can no more appeal me and grave can no more enthral me. Halleluya!
I can remember so vividly singing this song in church on Easter morning when I was young. It always gave my heart a thrill to hear the music and lyrics Have a blessed Easter!
