Text:Samson's Death

XCVI. Samson's Death

1 Stronger in death, than erst in life,
Samson, the conq'ror, bows his head;
The pillars shake the house o'erturns;
His enemies, himself are dead.

2 More glorious far is Jesus seen;
For enemies the Saviour dies;
Death and the grave, his death subdues;
And man redeem'd, with him shall rise.

3 Lord, of the living and the dead,
Who dying conquer'd death's dread pow'r;
We celebrate that awful day,
And hail thy resurrection hour.
