1 | Show me not only Jesus dying, | 2 | Though still that shameful Cross is glorious, | |||
As on the Cross He bled, | Where His dear Blood was spilt, | |||||
Nor in the tomb a Captive lying | That Cross of shame, where He victorious | |||||
For He has left the dead. | Hath cancelled all our guilt; | |||||
Not only in that Form suspended | Yet what, ‘mid conflict and temptation, | |||||
My Saviour bid me see, | Shall strength and succour give? | |||||
For, to the highest heavens ascended, | He lives, our Captain of salvation; | |||||
He reigns in majesty! | And therefore we shall live! |
3 | By death He death itself defeated, | |
And overcame the grave; | ||
He rose, His triumph He completed, | ||
He lives, He reigns to save! | ||
Heaven’s happy myriads now before Him; | ||
He comes, the Judge of men; | ||
These eyes shall see Him and adore Him; | ||
Lord Jesus, own us then! Amen. |
