Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #492 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ye Christians, hear the joyful news Lyrics: 1 Ye Christians, hear the joyful news,
Death has received a deadly bruise;
Our Lord has made his empire fall,
And conquered him that conquered all.
2 Though doomed are all men once to die,
Yet we by faith death’s power defy;
We soon shall feel his bands unbound,
Awakened by the Archangel’s sound.
3 The trump of God shall rend the rocks,
And open adamantine locks;
Come forth the dead from death’s dark dome,
And Jesus call his ransomed home. Topics: Resurrection and Ascension Scripture: Hebrews 2:14 Languages: English
