Now is Jesus, now is Jesus

Verse 1

Now is Jesus, now is Jesus, Risen from the Dead; Love, to seize us, Love, to seize us, In the Lamb, our Head: Caught us sinking under Sin, Took our Curse and Nature in, To its Off'ring, that by suff'ring, It might make us clean.

Verse 2

God in Fashion, God in Fashion, Like to fallen Man; By his Passion, by his Passion, Finished the Plan; Which eternal Mercy laid, Which eternal Love decreed, That the Bride, thus purified, Should from all Sin be Freed.

Verse 3

Thus our Maker, thus our Maker, Our Creator, God, Was Partaker, was Partaker, Of our Flesh and Blood: He became our Nature's Pride, And, as all our Sin, he dy'd; As our old Man, as our old Man, He was crucify'd.

Verse 4

Then he finish'd, then he finish'd, All our deep Distress; Then replenish'd, then replenish'd, Man with Righteousness: In his Body Sin lay dead, With each Sorrow which it bred, Accusation, Condemnation, Spread their Wings and fled.

Verse 5

Old Things now are, old Things now are, Passed all away; That his Power, that his Power, He might thus display: In a new Creation pure, From all Sin and Spoil secure, This erected, stands perfected, On Foundation Sure.

Verse 6

See it rising, see it rising, Glorious to our View; Most surprising, most surprising, All Things here are new: As rose Jesus from the Grave, Such the Purity we have; Sin is dead, and Care is fled, The son's no more a Slave.
