Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#337

337. Come, Let Us Rise with Christ, Our Head

1 Come, let us rise with Christ, our Head,
and seek the things above,
by the almighty Spirit led,
and filled with faith and love.
Our hearts detached from all below,
should after Him ascend,
and only wish the joy to know
of our triumphant Friend.

2 Enthroned at God’s right hand He sits,
Maintainer of our cause,
till ev'ry vanquished foe submits
to His victorious cross.
Worthy to be exalted thus,
the Lamb for sinners slain,
the Lord, our King, who reigns for us,
and shall forever reign.

3 To Him, our willing hearts we give,
who gives us pow'r and peace,
and dead to sin, His members live
the life of righteousness;
The hidden life of Christ is ours,
with Christ concealed above,
and tasting the celestial pow'rs,
we banquet on His love.
