Lyrics

Behold Christ ris­ing from the grave,
Behold Him raised on high:
He pleads His mer­its there to save
Transgressors doomed to die.

There, on a glo­ri­ous throne, He reigns,
And by His pow­er di­vine,
Redeems us from the slav­ish chains
Of Sa­tan and of sin.

Thence shall the Lord to judg­ment come,
And with a so­ver­eign voice,
Shall call, and break up ev­ery tomb,
While wak­ing saints re­joice.

O may I then with joy ap­pear
Before the Judge’s face!
And with the blest as­sem­bly there,
Sing His re­deem­ing grace.
