Uprising from the dark­some tomb
See the vic­to­ri­ous Je­sus come!
Th’al­migh­ty Pri­son­er quits the pri­son
And an­gels tell, The Lord is ris­en.

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.

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

Believers, hail your ris­ing head,
The first be­got­ten from the dead;
Your re­sur­rect­ion’s sure, through His,
To end­less life, and bound­less bliss.
