Oh, show me not my Saviour dying,
As on the cross he bled;
Nor in the tomb a captive lying,
For he has left the dead.
Then bid me not that form extended
For my Redeemer own,
Who, to the highest heavens ascended,
In glory fills the throne.
Weep not for him at Calvary’s station,
Weep only for thy sins;
View where he lay with exultation;
‘Tis there our hope begins.
Yet stay not there, thy sorrows feeding,
Amid the scenes he trod;
Look up and see him interceding
At the right hand of God.
Still in the shameful cross I glory,
Where his dear blood was spilt:
My soul is melted at the story
Of him who bore my guilt:
Yet what, ‘mid conflict and temptation,
Shall strength and succour give?
He lives the Captain of Salvation!
Therefore his servants live.
By death, he death’s dark king defeated,
And overcame the grave;
Rising the triumph he completed:
He lives, he reigns to save!
Heaven's happy myriads bow before him;
He comes, the Judge of men:
These eyes shall see him and adore him;
Lord Jesus! own me then.
