Um eilífð

Við sáum himins hryggð,
af harmi sól var skyggð,
því heimsins frelsari var fallinn.
Á krossi neggldur nár,
hans náðar blæddu sár
er bölvun allra bar hann kvalinn.

Hann gaf sinn anda upp.
Sér undan sneri Guð.
Var sonur Guðs til grafar borinn.
Þá dauðans dimma stríð
þar dunaði um hríð
uns máttur hels var alveg brotinn.

En titra tók þá jörð,
var tekinn steinn frá gröf:
Hans ástarkraft fékk ekkert bundið.
Ei feigðar brodd ég finn,
mig frelsar upprisinn
Guðs son er hefur sigrað.

Um eilífð er hann dýrlegur!
Um eilífð lofsöngs verðugur!
Um eilífð upp er risinn!
Hann lifir enn, hann lifir enn!

Um eilífð er hann dýrlegur!
Um eilífð lofsöngs verðugur!
Um eilífð upp er risinn!
Hann lifir enn, hann lifir enn!

Syngjum hallelúja x3
því lambið sigur vann!

Syngjum hallelúja x3
því lambið sigur vann!

Um eilífð er hann dýrlegur!
Um eilífð lofsöngs verðugur!
Um eilífð upp er risinn!
Hann lifir enn, hann lifir enn!

Sigurinn er þinn x4

Forever

The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Saviour of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon him

One final breath he gave
As heaven looked away
The son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

Forever he is glorified
Forever he is lifted high
Forever he is risen
He is alive, He is alive!

Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

Forever he is glorified
Forever he is lifted high
Forever he is risen
He is alive, He is alive!

We sing hallelujah x3
The Lamb has overcome!

We sing hallelujah x3
The Lamb has overcome

Forever he is glorified
Forever he is lifted high
Forever he is risen
He is alive, He is alive!

You have overcome x 4
