The song "Do Sepulcro Ressurgiu Triunfante" performed by CCB - Congregação Cristã no Brasil, is a hymn that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a cornerstone event in Christian faith. The lyrics narrate the triumph of Jesus over death and his emergence from the tomb as a symbol of eternal life and the promise of salvation for believers. The song begins by highlighting the miraculous nature of the resurrection, emphasizing that Jesus, the Son of God, could not be held by death due to his sinless nature and his sacrifice for the sins of humanity.
The second verse of the hymn describes the moment when the women disciples went to anoint Jesus' body, only to find the tomb empty and learn from angels that He had risen. This discovery fills them with joy and astonishment, reflecting the miraculous and joyful nature of the resurrection.
