[Verso 1]
 
          Bb                    Eb 
I lift my eyes to see the risen conqueror 
            Bb       Bb/D          Fsus4 F 
Declared in power to be the Son of God 
             Bb        B7/D       Eb 
Who bore the curse of Adam's disobedience 
            Bb/F      F                Bb 
Who brings unnumbered blessings by his blood 
    Bb/A   Gm      Eb        Bb 
The angels sing in joyful adoration 
             Gm        Eb       Fsus4  F 
For death is swallowed up in victory 
              Bb         Eb                Gm     C7 
And countless souls long held in deaths dominion 
                Bb/F           F                Eb 
Walk with their Saviour on the way of life set free 
 


[Verso 2]
 
              Bb                       Eb 
Long lay our world in sombre shades of darkness 
            Bb         Bb/D             Fsus4  F 
The light extinguished and all comfort gone 
             Bb       B7/D            Eb 
Only the flickering flame of ancient promises 
               Bb/F      F               Bb 
Sustained the hope that light would be reborn 
    Bb/A     Gm      Eb            Bb 
And then he came the Hope of every Nation 
               Gm        Eb                Fsus4  F 
With power to still that restless storm of old 
            Bb      Eb                    Gm     C7 
And oh his love to plumb such depths of darkness 
           Bb/F               F            Eb 
And rise triumphant with me safely in his hold 
 


[Verso 3]
 
          Bb                    Bb 
I do not live but Jesus lives within me 
              Bb       Bb/D            Fsus4 F 
By grace Im raised and sit with him on high 
             Bb       B7/D            Eb 
His power at work to fit me for the glory 
        Bb/F   F            Bb 
Of everlasting resurrection life 
           Gm      Eb                  Bb 
Until that day Ill walk in faith and holiness 
            Gm    Eb                Fsus  F 
A glorious joy empowers each step I take 
               Bb       Eb             Gm     C7 
For soon Ill see, Ill see my risen Saviour! 
           Bb/F            F               Eb 
The one I love, Ill love forever face to face 
 

Outro 
    Bb/A   Gm       Eb             Bb 
Now unto Christ the Son of God who loved me 
             Gm        Eb       Fsus    F 
And to the Father whose embrace awaits 
            Bb      Eb            Gm     C7 
And to the Spirit, Lord of new creation 
                Bb/F               F           Eb 
We bring our ransomed lives, our sacrifice of praise
