Empty now

There is a manger far away, where once a tiny child was laid. Where angels sang and shepherds bowed, long ago, far away, the manger is empty now.

There is temple far away, where once a teacher went to pray. He spoke of truth to an angry crowd, long ago, far away, the temple is empty now.

There is a cross, far away, where once a lamb for sin was slain a crown of thorns adorned His brow. The cross is empty, the cross is empty now.

There is a tomb, far away, where once the Lord of life was laid. Come and see His linen shroud. Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, the tomb is empty now.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
