Behold Christ Rising From The Grave

And with the blest assembly there, Sing His redeeming grace. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Sunday School Hymn Book (Philadelphia, American Sunday School Union, 1827)

Your Father now is He, My God, and yours, whoe’er depend For endless life on Me. 5. “Henceforth I ever live above For you to intercede, The merit of My dying love, For all mankind to plead. 6.
