Lyrics Wonderful the power of Christ our King, Mighty to save is He; Many that now sleep in the dust will sing, At His coming they shall resurrected be. Only for a season can death hold sway, Life shall the victor be; Saints shall be triumphant on that glad day When their bodies shall arise forever free. Many are the partings on earth below, Dear ones must say goodbye! But a glad reunion we then shall know In that blessed country where we cannot die. Marvelous redemption for all mankind, Gracious and broad indeed; Uttermost salvation in Christ we find, All-sufficient to supply our ev'ry need. Chorus: Many of them that sleep in the dust Shall awake unto life and sing, (and sing,) In the glorious resurrection of the just At the coming of our blessed Lord and King.
