Hymnal: Laudes Domini #416 (1884) First Line: Jesus, who died a world to save Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who died a world to save,
Revives and rises from the grave,
By his almighty power:
From sin, and death, and hell, set free,
He captive leads captivity,
And lives to die no more.
2 Children of God! look up and see
Your Saviour clothed in majesty,
Triumphant o'er the tomb:
Give o'er your griefs, cast off your fears,
In heaven your mansions he prepares,
And soon will take you home.
3 His church is still his joy and crown;
He looks with love and pity down
On her he did redeem:
He tastes her joys, he feels her woes,
And prays that she may spoil her foes,
And ever reign with him.
