Around Thy grave, Lord Jesus,
|
|
| 1. | Around Thy grave, Lord Jesus, |
| | In spirit here we stand, |
| | With hearts all full of praises, |
| | To keep Thy blest command: |
| | Our souls by faith rejoicing, |
| | To trace Thy path of love, |
| | Down through death's angry billows, |
| | Up to the throne above. |
| 2. | Lord Jesus! we remember |
| | The travail of Thy soul, |
| | When through Thy love's deep pity, |
| | The waves did o'er Thee roll; |
| | Baptized in death's dark waters, |
| | For us Thy blood was shed; |
| | For us Thou, Lord of Glory, |
| | Wast numbered with the dead. |
| 3. | O Lord! Thou now art risen, |
| | Thy travail all is o'er; |
| | For sin Thou once hast suffered, |
| | Thou liv'st to die no more; |
| | Sin, death and hell are vanquished |
| | By Thee, the Church's Head; |
| | And lo! we share Thy triumphs, |
| | Thou first-born from the dead. |
| 4. | Unto Thy death baptizŠd, |
| | We own with Thee we died; |
| | With Thee, our Life, we're risen, |
| | And shall be glorified. |
| | >From sin, the world, and Satan, |
| | We're ransomed by Thy blood, |
| | And here would walk as strangers, |
| | Alive with Thee to God. |
