Religion

Break forth into praise! Our Surety and Head,
His members to raise, Hath rose from the dead:
The power of His Spirit Hath quicken'd our Lord,
That we by His merit May all be restored.

Our Captain and King With shouts we proclaim,
And joyfully sing The wonderful name;
The name all- victorious We publish andy?/,
Triumphantly glorious O'er sin, earth, and hell.

The power of His rise We know and declare,
And rapt to the skies, His happiness share;
In heavenly places With Jesus we sit,
And Jesus's praises With angels repeat.

We sing of His love While sojourning here,
Till Christ from above Our Saviour appear;
The heirs of salvation With triumph receive,
In full consummation Of glory to live.
