1 Our Lord is risen indeed,
And bids his members rise,
Ye saints by Jesus freed,
Pursue him to the skies.
This is the day the Lord hath made,
Rejoice and be for ever glad.
2 On this triumphant day,
Peculiar his own;
He calls the church to pray,
And sing around his throne.
This is the day the Lord hath made,
Rejoice and be for ever glad.
3 Jesus to us impart
Thy resurrection's power,
And teach our quickened heart,
Its living Lord t' adore;
To vie with the redeemed above,
Rejoicing in thy pardoning love.
4 Us by thy peace assure,
Thou dost our sins forgive;
And then our spirits pure,
Unto thy self receive.
To keep the day of rest above,
Rejoicing in thy heavenly love.
