Uprising from the silent tomb,
See the victorious Jesus come!
Th' Almighty Captive quits the pris'n,
And angels tell "the Lord is risen."
Ye mourning saints, no longer grieve;
Hear the glad tidings and believe:
God's holy law is satisfied,
And justice now is on your side.
When ye in guilt's dark dungeon lay,
Mercy cried "spare," and justice, "slay;"
But Jesus answered, "Set them free,
Forgive their guilt, and punish me."
Your surety now before your God
Pleads the rich ransom of his blood;
No new demand, no bar remains,
But mercy all triumphant reigns.
Believers, bless your risen head,
The first-begotten from the dead;
Your resurrection's sure through his,
To endless life and boundless bliss.
