CHRIST'S RESURRECTION




When I the lonely tomb survey,
Where once my Saviour deigned to lie,
I see fulfilled what prophets say,
And all the power of death defy.


This empty tomb shall now proclaim,
How weak the bands of conquered death;
Sweet pledge! that all who trust his name,
Shall rise and draw immortal breath!


Our surety, freed, declares us free,
For whose offences he was seized;
In his release, our own we see,
And shout to view Jehovah pleased.


Jesus, once numbered with the dead,
Unseals his eyes to sleep no more;
And ever lives their cause to plead,
For whom the pains of death he bore.


Thy risen head, my soul, behold!
See the rich diadem he wears;
Thou too shall bear a harp of gold,
To crown thy joy when he appears.


'Though in the dust I lay my head,
Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave
My flesh for ever with the dead,
Nor lose thy children in the grave.'
