THE EMPTY TOMB  

Don Fortner

(Tune: When I Can Read My Title Clear #497  CM)

 

The empty tomb that held our Lord

       Should give us peace always.

       Our sins are gone, forever gone,

       The empty tomb displays.

 

 

With bitter tears and joyful faith,

       Let us remember Christ.

       For us He bore God’s awful wrath!

       His blood, our ransom price!

 

His blood God’s justice satisfied,

       The stone was rolled away,

       And says to all who trust in Him,

       “Christ put your sins away!”
