“I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11. 25

1 “I am,” says Christ, “your glorious Head,”
  (May we attention give,)
  “The Resurrection of the dead,
  The life of all that live.

2 “By faith in me the soul receives
  New life, though dead before;
  And he that in my name believes,
  Shall live to die no more.

3 “The sinner sleeping in his grave
  Shall at my voice awake,
  And when I once begin to save,
  My work I’ll ne’er forsake.”

4 Fulfil thy promise, gracious Lord,
  On us assembled here;
  Put forth thy Spirit with the word,
  And cause the dead to hear.

5 [Preserve the power of faith alive
  In those who love thy name;
  For sin and Satan daily strive
  To quench the sacred flame.

6 Thy power and mercy first prevailed
  From death to set us free;
  And often since our life had failed,
  Had it not been in thee.]

7 To thee we look, to thee we bow,
  To thee for help we call;
  Our Life and Resurrection thou,
  Our Hope, our Joy, our All.
