Mark 16:7: Jesus risen from the dead

Jesus risen from the dead
Doth to us appear again,
Goes before, our Uving Head,
Makes our way direct and plain;
Still conducts the souls He loves,
Captain on His church bestow'd,
Every obstacle removes.
Brings us to the mount of God.

Marching through the vale below
On His promise we depend.
After Him in safety go.
Daily on His cross ascend
To that heavenly Galilee;
Trusting our celestial Guide
Him we shall in glory see.
Sit enraptured at His side.

God lets His closest followers know
The' inconstancy of all below,
The saints whom most He loves,
The saints to whom He first appears,
By daily weaknesses and fears
He mercifully proves.

Tis thus He teaches them to' aspire
On wings of faith and strong desire
To that abiding place
Where feeble faith no more is known,
Where evil, pain, and death are gone,
And joy eternal stays.
