Samson's Death

Verse 1

Stronger in death, than erst in life, Samson, the conq'ror, bows his head; The pillars shake the house o'erturns; His enemies, himself are dead.

Verse 2

More glorious far is Jesus seen; For enemies the Saviour dies; Death and the grave, his death subdues; And man redeem'd, with him shall rise.

Verse 3

Lord, of the living and the dead, Who dying conquer'd death's dread pow'r; We celebrate that awful day, And hail thy resurrection hour.
