He dies! The Friend of sinners dies
Lo! Salem’s daughter weep around
A solemn darkness veils the skies
A sudden trembling shakes the ground
2.
Come, saints, and with your tears bedew
The Suffer’r, bruis’d beneath your load
He pour’d out cries and tears for you
He shed for you His precious blood
3.
Here’s love and grief beyond degree
The Lord of Glory dies for man
But lo! What sudden joys I see
Jesus, the dead, revives again
4.
The rising God forsakes the tomb
The tomb in vain forbids His rise
Cherubic legions guard Him home
And shout Him welcome to the skies
5.
Break off your hearts, ye saints, and tell
How high your great deliv’rer reigns
Sing how he spoil’d the host of hell
And led the monster death in chains
6.
Say, Live for ever, wondrous King!
Born to redeem and strong to serve
Then ask the monster, Where’s thy sting?
And, where’s thy victory, bursting grave?
Amen
