A Pastor's Selection of Hymns and Tunes #320
1 Lo! the stone is rolled away,
Death yields up his mighty prey;
Jesus, rising from the tomb,
Scatters all its fearful gloom.
2 Praise him in the noblest songs,
From ten thousand thousand tongues
Every note with rapture swell,
And the Saviour's triumph tell.
3 Let Immanuel be adored--
Ransom, Mediator, Lord!
To creation's utmost bound,
Let the eternal praise resound.
