His members to raise, has ris'n from the dead!
The pow'r of His Spirit hath quicken'd our Lord,
that we by His merit may all be restored.

2 Our Captain and King, with shouts we proclaim,

In heavenly places with Jesus we sit,
and Jesus’s praises with angels repeat.

4 We sing of His love while sojourning here,
till Christ from above, our Savior appear.
The heirs of salvation with triumph receive,
in full consummation of glory to live.
