| 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. | ||
