Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XCVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Stronger in death, than erst in life Lyrics: 1 Stronger in death, than erst in life,
Samson, the conq'ror, bows his head;
The pillars shake the house o'erturns;
His enemies, himself are dead.
2 More glorious far is Jesus seen;
For enemies the Saviour dies;
Death and the grave, his death subdues;
And man redeem'd, with him shall rise.
3 Lord, of the living and the dead,
Who dying conquer'd death's dread pow'r;
We celebrate that awful day,
And hail thy resurrection hour.
