Immortal Body

Tr. by Hiromichi Onizuka.

"He was not abandoned to Hades,
Nor did his flesh see corruption."
Realized word of prophecy,
revived from the dead,
Three days after death on a cross,
glorious Lord appeared.

*
"He was not abandoned to Hades,
Nor did his flesh see corruption."
Realized word of prophecy,
risen in victory,
With His spear-pieced body,
the resurrected Lord ascended.

*
"He was not abandoned to Hades,
Nor did his flesh see corruption."
Realized word of prophecy,
resurrection victory won,
Though His body should have decayed,
the glorious Lord became the first fruit of resurrection.
