Jesus, Who Died a World to Save

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.

Lo! how He bursts the bonds of death

And re­as­sumes His vi­tal breath

To make our ti­tle good;

May all our souls to Heav’n as­pire

In thought

in will

in strong de­sire

To earth­ly plea­sure dead.

With thank­ful hearts we look and see

Our Sav­ior clothed with ma­jes­ty

Triumphant o’er the tomb;

Yet though our Lord is hon­ored thus

Still all His thoughts are fixed on us

He’ll take us to His home.

His church is all 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.
