Come, Let Us Rise with Christ

Come

let us rise with Christ our head

And seek the things above

By the al­migh­ty Spir­it led

And filled with faith and love;

Our hearts de­tached from all below

Should af­ter Him as­cend

And on­ly wish the joy to know

Of our tri­umph­ant friend.

Enthroned at God’s right hand He sits

Maintainer of our cause

Till every van­quished foe sub­mits

To His vic­tor­ious cross;

Worthy to be ex­alt­ed thus

The Lamb for sin­ners slain

The Lord our king

who reigns for us

And shall for­ev­er reign.

To Him our will­ing hearts we give

Who gives us pow­er and peace

And dead to sin

His mem­bers live

The life of right­eous­ness;

The hid­den life of Christ is ours

With Christ con­cealed above

And tast­ing the ce­les­ti­al pow­ers

We ban­quet on His love.
