259. Break Forth into Praise

1 Break forth into praise! Our Surety and Head,
His members to raise, has ris'n from the dead!
The pow'r of His Spirit hath quicken'd our Lord,
that we by His merit may all be restored.

2 Our Captain and King, with shouts we proclaim,
and joyfully sing the wonderful name,
the name all-victorious we publish and feel,
triumphantly glorious o’er sin, earth, and hell.

3 The pow'r of His rise we know and declare,
and rapt to the skies, His happiness share.
In heavenly places with Jesus we sit,
and Jesus’s praises with angels repeat.

4 We sing of His love while sojourning here,
till Christ from above, our Savior appear.
The heirs of salvation with triumph receive,
in full consummation of glory to live.
