CXL. The Resurrection of Christ

1 Yes, the Redeemer rose;
The Savior left the dead;
And o'er our hellish foes
High rais'd his conq'ring head:
In wild dismay
The guards around
Fall to the ground,
And sink away.

2 Lo! the angelic bands
In full assembly meet,
To wait his high commands,
And worship at his feet:
Joyful they come,
And wing their way
From realms of day
To Jesus' tomb.

3 Then back to heaven thy fly,
The joyful news to bear;
Hark! as they soar on high,
What music fills the air!
Their anthems say,
"Jesus who bled
"Hath left the dead;
"He rose to-day."

4 Ye mortals, catch the sound,
Redeem'd by him from hell;
And send the echo round
The globe on which you dwell:
Transported cry,
"Jesus who bled
"Hath left the dead
"No more to die."

5 All hail, triumphant Lord,
Who sav'st us with thy blood:
Wide be thy name ador'd
Thou rising, reigning God:
With thee we rise,
With thee we reign,
And empires gain
Beyond the skies.
