Zion's Harp ‎#8

8. Arise, my song to Christ the King

1 Arise, my song to Christ the King, From whom the fount of life did spring When from the grave He did arise To sever death’s deceiving ties! Hallelujah! 2 Earth trembled with His wondrous might; From heaven came an angel bright. The stone was moved from its repose When Jesus Christ from death arose. Hallelujah! 3 And clothed in glory, bright and fair, Which He eternally did wear, He leads beneath His Shepherd’s rod Freed pris’ners to the House of God. Hallelujah! 4 The mighty foe still seeks in vain Us in His power to retain. The blood of Jesus makes us free, And justified by faith are we. Hallelujah! 5 The victory He has achieved For all who have in Christ believed. Flesh, Satan, death have lost their sting. Oh, come and choose this heav’nly King! Hallelujah! 6 We know that Satan’s yoke is shame, And strive to work in Jesus’ name; Reborn by faith, we go our way, And sin we never shall obey. Hallelujah! 7 As Jesus died for all our sin, So all His own new life begin; Through baptism we renewed shall be, And clothed in immortality. Hallelujah! 8. Thus by this Spirit-birth may we, Lord Jesus, have a part in Thee And show ourselves obedient, Lord, In love and faith unto Thy Word. Hallelujah!
