Matthew 28:5: Reader of the trembling heart
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Reader of the trembling heart
Those who seek the Crucified,
Bid our every fear depart.
Bid us in Thy death abide,
Waiting at Thy tomb to see.
See, and share I'hy victory.
Thee to seek by Thee inclined,
On Thy promise we depend
"EN' ery one that seeks shall find,"
Shall out of Thy grave ascend.
To true holiness restored
Quicken'd with our rising Lord.
Thee we cannot trust in vain:
Thou wilt every bar remove,
Show Thyself alive again,
Show to us the life of love.
Fill our drooping hearts with peace,
Raise us up Thy witnesses.
