| 1. Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord,
Chase all your fears away;
And bow with rapture down to see
The place where Jesus lay.
2. Thus 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.
3. But raise your eyes,
and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again:
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqueror could detain.
4. High o'er the angelic bands he rears
His once dishonoured head;
And through unnumbered
years he reigns,
Who dwelt among the dead.
5. With joy like his shall every saint
His vacant tomb survey;
Then rise with his ascending Lord
To realms of endless day.
