Death in vain forbids his rise; Christ has opened paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King! Where, O death, is now your sting? Once he died our souls to save; Where your victory, O grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Foll'wing our exalted head. Made like him, like him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies! 6 Hail the Lord of earth and heav'n! Praise to you by both be giv'n! God has now fulfilled his Word; Praise the resurrected Lord! Topics: Easter; Easter Used With Tune: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS

Great gifts I brought for thee; Come, bring thy gifts to me. 6 Oh, let thy life be spent, Thy years for me be giv'n, As I for thee was sent To bear thee home to heav'n.
