Burst is the prison, And conquered the grave! Shout, shout the tidings, O'er land and sea! Jesus is risen! And man now is free. 2 Each heart today with joy is beaming, The air is fill'd with gladness, While peace and love their rays are streaming, Dispelling thoughts of sadness, The earth from sleep now wakes in beauty, Arrayed in spring garb vernal, Reminding us that after duty, Our joys shall be eternal. [Chorus] 3 As flow'rs and buds were seen appearing, Upon the rod of Aaron, So from the tomb, all ages cheering, Appeared the rose of Sharon, Think of One flower to Mortals given, When earth her forces rally, The fairest flow'r in earth or heaven, The Lily of the Valley. [Chorus] 4 Today as round the tomb we linger, We find our faith grows brighter, Hope points the way with index finger, While Love makes duty lighter, When with the last great foe we've striven, We shall not sleep forever, But rise to live with Christ in heaven, Where death will enter never.

On the Cross

Appears in 111 hymnals First Line: Behold! behold! the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold! behold! the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; For you he shed his precious blood, On the cross, on the cross. Now hear his agonizing cry, "Eloi Lama Sabacthani;" Draw near and see your Saviour die On the cross, on the cross. 2 Come, sinners, see him lifted up, On the cross, on the cross; For you he drinks the bitter cup, On the cross, on the cross. To heav'n he turns his languid eye, "'Tis finished," now the conqu'ror cries, Then bows his sacred head and dies, On the cross, on the cross. 3 'Tis done! the mighty deed is done, On the cross, on the cross; The battle fought, the vic'try won, On the cross, on the cross. The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, While Jesus doth atonement make, While Jesus suffers for your sake On the cross, on the cross. 4 Where'er I go, I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross. Yes, this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time and in eternity, That Jesus suffered death for me On the cross, on the cross.
