Christians, Dismiss Your Fear

Christians

dis­miss your fear

Let hope and joy suc­ceed;

The great good news with glad­ness hear

The Lord is ris­en in­deed;

The shades of death with­drawn

His eyes their beams dis­play

So wakes the Sun

when ro­sy dawn

Unbars the gates of day.

The pro­mise is ful­filled

Salvation’s work is done

Justice with mer­cy’s re­con­ciled

And God has raised His Son;

He quits the dark abode

From all cor­rupt­ion free

The ho­ly

harm­less Child of God

Could no cor­rupt­ion see.

Angels with saints above

The ris­ing Vic­tor sing

And all the bliss­ful seats of love

With loud ho­san­nas ring;

Ye pil­grims

too

be­low

Your hearts and voic­es raise

Let ev­ery breast with glad­ness glow

And ev­ery mouth sing praise.

My soul

thy Sav­ior laud

Who all thy sor­rows bore

Who died for sin

but lives to God

And lives to die no more;

His death pro­cured thy peace

His re­sur­rect­ion’s thine;

Believe

re­ceive the full re­lease:

’Tis signed with blood di­vine.
