<p>He dies! the Friend of sinners dies!<br>
|
|
Lo! Salem’s daughters weep around;<br>
|
|
A solemn darkness veils the skies,<br>
|
|
A sudden trembling shakes the ground.</p>
|
|
<p>Come, saints, and drop a tear or two<br>
|
|
For Him who groaned beneath your load:<br>
|
|
He shed a thousand drops for you,<br>
|
|
A thousand drops of richer blood.</p>
|
|
<p>Here’s love and grief beyond degree:<br>
|
|
The Lord of Glory dies for men!<br>
|
|
But lo! what sudden joys we see,<br>
|
|
Jesus, the dead, revives again!</p>
|
|
<p>The rising God forsakes the tomb;<br>
|
|
The tomb in vain forbids His rise;<br>
|
|
Cherubic legions guard Him home,<br>
|
|
And shout Him welcome to the skies.</p>
|
|
<p>Break off your fears, ye saints, and tell<br>
|
|
How high your great Deliv’rer reigns;<br>
|
|
Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell,<br>
|
|
And led the monster death in chains!</p>
|
|
<p>Say, “Live forever, wondrous King!<br>
|
|
Born to redeem, and strong to save;”<br>
|
|
Then ask the monster, “Where’s thy sting?”<br>
|
|
And, “Where’s thy vict’ry, boasting grave?”</p>
