Rise, All Who Seek the Crucified

Rise

all who seek the Cru­ci­fied

The God that once for sin­ners died

With lift­ed voice and heart adore

Chasing our griefs

and sins

and fears

The Sun of Right­eous­ness ap­pears

Appears

to set in blood no more.

To death de­liv­ered in our stead

For us He ris­es from the dead

And life to all His mem­bers brings;

He gives us

while He soars above

The dew of grace

the balm of love

And drops sal­va­tion from His wings.

This day the Scrip­ture is ful­filled

The Fa­ther now His Son has sealed

And owned Him for His Son with pow­er;

God from the bel­ly of the earth

Hath called Him forth to se­cond birth

Nor let the greedy deep de­vour.

Cast for our sins in­to the deep

His life hath saved the sink­ing ship

His life for ours a ran­som giv­en;

But lo! on the third joy­ful morn

Our Jo­nas doth for us re­turn

Emerging from His tomb to Heav­en.
