The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#CCCXL

CCCXL. Comfort to such who seek a risen JESUS

1 Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD,
Chase all your Fears away;
And bow with Pleasure 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 throbb'd and bled for you.

3 A Moment give a Loose to Grief,
Let grateful Sorrows rise;
And wash the bloody Stains away,
With Torrents from your Eyes

4 Then dry your Tears, and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again;
Not all the Gates and Bars of Death
The Conq'ror could detain.

5 High o'er th' angelic Bands he rears
His once dishonour'd Head;
And tho' unnumber'd Years he reigns,
Who dwelt among the Dead,

6 With Joy, like his, shall every Saint
His empty Tomb survey;
Then rise, with his ascending LORD,
To Realms of endless Day.
