Luke 24:6, 7: He is not here, but is risen: remember, &c

Religion

His disciples sincere,
We have nothing to fear,
Though our Master was slain.
He died for our sins, and He liveth again!
He is risen indeed,
Our life-giving Head,
We remember His word.
And arise in the power of our heavenly Lord.

His promises kind
He brings to our mind,
His Spirit imparts,
And the meaning explains to our sensible hearts:
With joy we approve
The design of His love,
The necessity see
Of His passion on earth, and His death on the tree.

The justice of God
Demanded His blood
For our sins to atone;
And exalted Him then to a share of His throne;
That the God of all grace
His members might raise,
From the sepulchre freed
And eternally join'd to our glorified Head.
