Christ’s Resurrection. Luke 24. 4-7; 1 Pet. 1. 3; Isa. 42. 21

1 Uprising from the darksome tomb,
  See the victorious Jesus come;
  The Almighty Prisoner quits the prison,
  And angels tell, The Lord is risen.

2 Ye guilty souls, that groan and grieve,
  Hear the glad tidings, hear and live!
  God’s righteous law is satisfied,
  And justice now is on your side.

3 Your Surety, thus released by God,
  Pleads the rich ransom of his blood;
  No new demand, no bar remains,
  But mercy now triumphant reigns.

4 Believers, hail your rising Head,
  The first-begotten from the dead;
  Your resurrection’s sure, through his,
  To endless life and boundless bliss!
