When the grave robber comes (9-fold x2)

There's a step that we all
Take alone
An appointment we have
With the great unknown
Like a vapor, this life is waiting to pass
Like the flowers that fade
Like the withering grass
But life seems so long
And death so complete
And the grave an impossible portion to cheat
But there's One who has been there, still lives to tell
There is One Who has been through both Heaven and Hell
And the grave will come up empty-handed that day
Jesus will come and steal us away

Chorus:
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night
Where is the victory? Where is the prize?
When the grave robber comes and death finally dies

When the grave robber comes (9-fold)

Many still mourn
Many still weep
For those whom they love
Who have fallen asleep
But we have this hope
Though our hearts may still ache
Just one shout from above
And they all will awake
And in the reunion of joy will we sing
Death will be swallowed in sweet victory

Repeat Chorus

When the last enemy is gone
Out of the dust will come a song
Those asleep will be awakened
Not a one will be forsaken
He shall wipe away all tears
He will steal away our fears
There will be no sad tomorrow
There will be no pain or sorrow

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night
Where is the victory? (fade)
