151. Come, See the Place Where Jesus Lay

1 Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
And hear angelic watchers say:
“He lives, 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 pow’r
Our Saviour rose, and left the grave,
And ever liveth now to save.

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

4 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.
