CHRIST'S RESURRECTION

HYMN FOR TODAY - Friday August 15

==================================

When I the lonely tomb survey, 

Where once my Saviour deigned to lie, 

I see fulfilled what prophets say,

And all the power of death defy.

This empty tomb shall now proclaim, 

How weak the bands of conquered death;

Sweet pledge! that all who trust his name, 

Shall rise and draw immortal breath!

Our surety, freed, declares us free, 

For whose offences he was seized; 

In his release, our own we see, 

And shout to view Jehovah pleased.
