Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension. Heb. 2. 14; Eph. 4. 8; 1 Cor. 15. 54

1 Ye Christians, hear the joyful news,
  Death has received a deadly bruise;
  Our Lord has made his empire fall,
  And conquered him that conquered all.

2 Though doomed are all men once to die,
  Yet we by faith death’s power defy;
  We soon shall feel his bands unbound,
  Awakened by the Archangel’s sound.

3 The trump of God shall rend the rocks,
  And open adamantine locks;
  Come forth the dead from death’s dark dome,
  And Jesus call his ransomed home.
