The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#126

126. Come, See the Place Where Jesus Lay

1 Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
And hear angelic voices say:
"He rose, He lives, who once was slain;
He said that He would rise again."

2 O joyful sound! O glorious hour!
When by His own almighty power
Our Saviour rose, and left the grave,
And ever liveth now to save.

3 Now let our songs His triumph tell,
Who burst the bands of death and hell;
The First-begotten of the dead,
For us He rose, our glorious Head.

4 No more we tremble at the grave,
For Jesus will their spirits save.
O risen Lord, in Thee we live,
To Thee our ransomed souls we give.

5 All praise be Thine, O risen Lord,
From death to endless life restored;
All praise to God the Father be
And Holy Ghost eternally.

Amen.
