9752. Christians, Dismiss Your Fear

1 Christians, dismiss your fear,
Let hope and joy succeed;
The great good news with gladness hear,
The Lord is risen indeed;
The shades of death withdrawn,
His eyes their beams display,
So wakes the Sun, when rosy dawn
Unbars the gates of day.

2 The promise is fulfilled,
Salvation’s work is done,
Justice with mercy’s reconciled,
And God has raised His Son;
He quits the dark abode,
From all corruption free,
The holy, harmless Child of God
Could no corruption see.

3 Angels with saints above
The rising Victor sing,
And all the blissful seats of love
With loud hosannas ring;
Ye pilgrims, too, below,
Your hearts and voices raise,
Let every breast with gladness glow,
And every mouth sing praise.

4 My soul, thy Savior laud,
Who all thy sorrows bore,
Who died for sin, but lives to God,
And lives to die no more;
His death procured thy peace,
His resurrection’s thine;
Believe, receive the full release:
’Tis signed with blood divine.
