Ye Men of Israel, Hear

Ye men of Is­ra­el

hear

The words of truth and grace

Jesus did in the flesh ap­pear

To save a sink­ing race;

A man of God ap­proved

By signs and won­ders known

Jesus

the Fa­ther’s well-beloved

The co-eter­nal Son.

The Prince of Life and Peace

By Heav’n’s su­preme de­cree

Delivered up

ye dared to seize

And nail Him to the tree;

Taken by wick­ed hands

And cru­ci­fied and slain;

But God hath loosed the mor­tal bands

And raised Him up again.

It was not pos­si­ble

That death should keep his prey;

God would not leave His soul in hell

Or let His flesh de­cay:

His flesh re­posed in hope

Of the third joy­ful morn

And then the Fa­ther raised Him up

And God again was born.

This Je­sus is re­stored

To life by pow­er di­vine;

We all pro­claim our liv­ing Lord

And in His prais­es join:

We are His wit­ness­es

He is gone up on high

Exalted to His na­tive place

He lives no more to die.

Again at God’s right hand

Our Lord is called to sit

Till all who now His sway with­stand

Are crushed be­neath His feet:

Be it to Is­ra­el’s seed

To ev­ery sin­ner known

God hath per­formed His oath in­deed

Hath glo­ri­fied His Son.

Sinners

be­lieve He died

And rose to buy your peace;

Jesus the Christ

the Cru­ci­fied

The Lord of Life con­fess;

Repent in Je­sus’ name

Believe and be for­giv­en

And take the Ho­ly Ghost ye claim

And rise with us to Heav­en.
