O Death, O Death, Where is Thy Sting?
	O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. --1 Corinthians 15:55-57
	Hymn tune by Susan Wysor

The blessed virgin bore a Son, Immanuel, God's Holy One. In weakness He was crucified. Condemned for us, He bled and died. refrain: O death, O death, where is thy sting? Defeated by our Lord and King! The promised Child, the woman's Seed Came to destroy the devil's deeds. Christ's heel was bruised; He died and bled. Yet He has bruised the serpent's head! refrain: O death, O death, where is thy sting? Defeated by our Lord and King!   From Adam's fall death came to all.     The last Adam , Jesus, kept God's law. For us God's Son was cursed on the tree. Then rose again in victory! refrain: O death, O death, where is thy sting? Defeated by our Lord and King! Our God will wipe our tears away Remove the curse, sin and decay. From dust to glory we will be raised. Both body and soul redeemed and saved. refrain: O death, O death, where is thy sting? Defeated by our Lord and King! O death, where is thy victory? Christ disarmed the principalities. The God of Peace will soon defeat And shatter Satan under our feet!   refrain: O death, O death, where is thy sting? Defeated by our Lord and King!
