16536. O Lord Of All, With Us Abide

1 O Lord of all, with us ab­ide,
Alle, al­le­luia!
In this our joy­ful East­er­tide;
Alle, al­le­luia!
From ev­ery wea­pon death can wield,
Thine own re­deemed for­ev­er shield.
All praise be Thine, O ris­en Lord,
Alle, al­le­luia!
From death to end­less life re­stored;
Alle, al­le­luia!
All praise to God the Fa­ther be,
And Ho­ly Ghost eternally.

Refrain:
Hark! the an­gels prais­es sing
To Je­sus, our tri­umph­ant king.

2 While He, the King, the migh­ty King,
Alle, al­le­luia!
Despoiling death of all its sting,
Alle, al­le­luia!
And tramp­ling down the pow­er of night,
Brings forth His ran­somed saints to light;
The pains of hell are loosed at last;
Alle, al­le­luia!
The days of mourn­ing now are past,
Alle, al­le­luia!
An an­gel robed in light hath said,
"The Lord is ris­en from the dead." [Refrain]
