LyicsYE humble souls that seek the Lord,
Chase all our fears away;
And bow with rev'rence down, to see
The place where Jesus lay.
If ye have wept at yonder cross,
And still your sorrows rise,
Stoop down and view the vanquish'd grave,
Then wipe your weeping eyes.
But dry your tears, and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again;
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqu'ror could detain.
High o'er th' angelic band He rears
His once dishonor'd head;
And through unnumber'd years He reigns,
Who dwelt among the dead.
