9753. Uprising From The Darksome Tomb

1 Uprising from the darksome tomb
See the victorious Jesus come!
Th’almighty Prisoner quits the prison
And angels tell, The Lord is risen.

2 Ye guilty souls, that groan and grieve,
Hear the glad tidings: Hear, and live;
God’s righteous law is satisfied,
And justice now is on your side.

3 Your surety, thus released by God,
Pleads the rich ransom of His blood;
No new demand, no bar remains,
But mercy now triumphant reigns.

4 Believers, hail your rising Head,
The first begotten from the dead;
Your resurrection’s sure, through His,
To endless life, and boundless bliss.
