The Death, and Resurrection of Immanuel

Verse 1

Let us our hearts and voices raise, To sound the mighty Saviour's praise, And sing he di'd, and lives again For us, the fallen sons of men.

Verse 2

He bare our curse, our debt he paid, When all our woes on him were laid; Our midnight darkness chas'd away, And rais'd us to eternal day.

Verse 3

'Tis finish'd, saith the dying God, For man, cry all his wounds and blood: Salvation finish'd was for us, In Jesus, bleeding on the cross.

Verse 4

He, fainting, felt death's rude divorce, To put his testament in force; Wherein to man he did bequeath The labours of his life and death.

Verse 5

Quickly he breaks death's feeble chain, And to his throne ascends again; There sits adorn'd with wounds and blood, And calls the wand'rers home to God.

Verse 6

Let all the sons of Zion sing Unwearied praise to Christ their King, He is our Saviour, God, and we Will sound his name eternally.
