Christ's Resurrection

Verse 1

Uprising from the darksome tomb, See the victorious Jesus come; The Almighty Prisoner quits the prison, And angels tell, The Lord is risen.

Verse 2

Ye guilty souls, that groan and grieve, Hear the glad tidings, hear and live! God’s righteous law is satisfied, And justice now is on your side.

Verse 3

Your Surety, thus released by God, Pleads the rich ransom of his blood; No new demand, no bar remains, But mercy now triumphant reigns.

Verse 4

Believers, hail your rising Head, The first-begotten from the dead; Your resurrection’s sure, through his, To endless life and boundless bliss!
