AROUND THY GRAVE, LORD JESUS
1. Around Thy
grave, Lord Jesus,
In spirit here we
stand,
With hearts all
full of praises
To keep Thy blest
command;
Our souls by faith
rejoicing,
To trace Thy path
of love,
Down through
death's angry billows,
Up to the throne above.
2. Lord Jesus! we
remember
The travail of Thy
soul,
When through Thy
love's deep pity,
The waves did o'er
Thee roll;
Baptized in death's
dark waters,
For us Thy blood
was shed;
For us Thou, Lord
of Glory,
Wast numbered with
the dead.
3. O Lord! Thou now
art risen,
Thy travail all is
o'er;
For sin Thou once
hast suffered,
Thou liv'st to die
no more;
Sin, death and hell
are vanquished
By Thee, the
Church's Head;
And lo! we share
Thy triumphs,
Thou firstborn from
the dead.
4. Unto Thy death
baptized,
We own with Thee we
died;
With Thee, our
Life, we're risen,
And shall be
glorified.
From sin, the
world, and Satan,
We're ransomed by
Thy blood,
And here would walk
as strangers,
Alive with Thee to
go.
