LyicsOUR Lord is ris'n indeed,
And bids his members rise;
Ye saints by Jesus freed,
Pursue him to the skies;
This is the day the Lord hath made,
Rejoice and be forever glad.
On this triumphant day,
Peculiarly his own,
He calls his church to pray
And sing around his throne:
This is the day the Lord hath made,
Rejoice and be forever glad.
Jesus to us impart,
Thy resurrection's pow'r,
And teach our quick'nd heart
Our living Lord t' endure;
To vie with the redeem'd above,
Rejoicing in thy pard'ning love.
Us, by thy grace, assure
Thou dost our sins forgive;
And then our spirits pure,
Unto thyself receive;
To keep the day of rest above,
Rejoicing in thy heav'nly love.
