Him Dead and Buried We Confess

Him dead and bur­ied we con­fess

The storm our sins had raised t’ap­pease

Three days and nights for us con­fined;

But lo

emerg­ing from the grave

He comes

a ran­somed world to save

He preach­es life to all man­kind!

O that we all His words might hear

A great­er far than Jo­nah fear

And live and die

at His com­mand!

Then shall the grave its prey re­store

Raised by His re­sur­rect­ion’s pow­er

And cast us on the heav­en­ly land.
