- 1Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord,
- Chase all your fears away;
- And bow with rapture down to see
- The place where Jesus lay.
- 2Thus low the Lord of Life was brought,
- Such wonders love can do;
- Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
- Which throbbed and bled for you.
- 3But raise your eyes, and tune your songs,
- The Saviour lives again;
- Not all the bolts and bars of death
- The Conqueror could detain.
- 4High o'er the angelic bands He rears
- His once dishonoured head;
- And through unnumbered years He reigns,
- Who dwelt among the dead.
- 5With joy like His shall every saint
- His vacant tomb survey;
- Then rise with his ascending Lord
- To realms of endless day.
