16548. Jesus, Our Savior, We Welcome Thy Rising

1 Jesus, our Sav­ior, we wel­come Thy ris­ing!
Welcome Thy ris­ing from death and the grave!
Hail to the Vic­tor o’er sin and o’er sor­row,
Hail to the Prince who is migh­ty to save!
Jesus is ris­en! Jesus is ris­en!
Hail to the Prince who is migh­ty to save!

2 Seek we with Ma­ry, the tomb in the gar­den?
Angels may show us the place where He lay.
Empty the se­pul­cher! fold­ed the grave-clothes!
Jesus arose ere the dawn­ing of day!
Jesus is ris­en! Jesus is ris­en!
Jesus arose ere the dawn­ing of day!

3 Yet He is near, if we turn when He speak­eth,
Calling our names, till we know it is He.
Hands might not touch Him un­til He as­cend­ed—
Master, Rab­bo­ni! our hearts cling to Thee!
Jesus is ris­en! Jesus is ris­en!
Master, Rab­bo­ni! our hearts cling to Thee!

4 Welcome to Him who was dead and who liv­eth!
Jesus, our Sav­ior, al­ive ev­er­more!
Bring we our trea­sures and spread them be­fore Him!
Jesus our Sav­ior, we love and ad­ore!
Jesus is ris­en! Jesus is ris­en!
Jesus our Sav­ior, we love and ad­ore!
