Thou wilt my soul awak­en!
This is what He does, He saves us
Victorious, all glor­ious
Passed from the toil and ago­ny,
Where an ang­el sat to greet her,
Upon the se­venth day of the week
Praise the Re­deem­er, al­migh­ty to save;
Twine the East­er gar­land,
’Twas a dark and gloomy night

the grave

Jesus conquered the grave
In full ac­ti­vi­ty of zeal and pow­er;
Where love­li­est flow­ers ab­ound;
Christ is risen from the dead
But we will not de­plore thee,
Or my faith be shak­en?
Let Heaven and Earth proclaim
A Con­qu’ror migh­ty to save.
Passed through the por­tals of the tomb
With their spic­es they were go­ing,
The grave is now a ho­ly place;
O sing, for the door of the dun­geon is open,
Jesus Christ hath con­quered
We had hoped that by His might
