1071. Buried beneath the yielding wave

1 Buried beneath the yielding wave
The great Redeemer lies;
Faith views him in the watery grave,
And thence beholds him rise.

2 Thus do these willing souls to-day
Their ardent zeal express,
And in the Lord's appointed way
Fulfill all righteousness.

3 With joy we in his footsteps tread,
And would his cause maintain;
Like him be numbered with the dead,
And with him rise and reign.

4 His presence oft revives our hearts,
And drives our hearts away;
When he commands, and strength imparts,
We cheerfully obey.
