Sinners, Dismiss Your Fear

Sinners

dis­miss your fear

The joy­ful tid­ings hear!

This the word that Je­sus said

O be­lieve

and feel it true;

Christ is ris­en from the dead

Lives the Lord who died for you!

Haste

to His tomb re­pair

And see the to­kens there;

See the place where Je­sus lay

Mark the bu­ri­al cloths He wore;

Angels near His rel­ics stay

Guards of Him who dies no more.

Why then art thou cast down

Thou poor af­flict­ed one?

Full of doubts

and griefs

and fears

Look in­to that op­en grave!

Died He not to dry thy tears?

Rose He not thy soul to save?

Know’st thou not where to find

The Sav­ior of man­kind?

He hath borne Him­self away

He from death Him­self hath freed

He on the third glo­ri­ous day

Rose tri­umph­ant from the dead.

To purge thy guil­ty stain

He died

and rose again;

Wherefore dost thou weep and mourn?

Sinner

lift thine heart and eye

Turn thee

to thy Je­sus turn

See thy lov­ing Sav­ior nigh.

He comes His own to claim

He calls thee by thy name:

Drooping soul

re­joice

re­joice

See Him there to life re­stored!

Mary—know thy Sav­ior’s voice

Hear it

and re­ply

My Lord.
