CCCXXXII. The resurrection of Christ

1 See the victorious Jesus come,
Rising triumphant from the tomb,
Th' Almighty conq'ror quits the pris'n;
And angels tell the Lord is ris'n.
Angels, angels, angels, angels,
And angels tell the Lord is ris'n.

2 Ye guilty souls that groan and grieve,
Hear the glad tidings, hear and live;
God's righteous law is satisfy'd,
And justice now is on your side.
Justice,justice, justice, justice,
And justice no is on your side.

3 Your Surety, thus releas'd by God,
Pleads the rich ransom of his blood,
No new demand, no bar remains;
But mercy now triumphant reigns.
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy,
But mercy now triumphant reigns.

4 Believers, hail your rising Head,
See Jesus coming from the dead,
Your resurrection's sure, through his,
To endless life,and boundless bliss.
Endless, endless, endless, endless,
To endless life, and boundless bliss.
