Behold Christ Rising from the Grave

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.
