Hymns for Our Lord's Resurrection, 15
From Hymns for Our Lord's Resurrection (1746) · Osborn ed., vol. 4 (1869)
Christ, our living Head, draw near.
At our call, Quicken all
Thy true members here.
Fill'd with faith's eternal Spirit,
Grant that we, Dead with Thee,
May Thy life inherit.
All Thy resurrection's power,
All Thy love, From above,
On Thy servants shower.
Perfect love! we long to' attain it,
Following fast, If at last
We, even we may gain it.
Partners of Thy death and passion,
O that we All might see
All Thy great salvation.
Saved beyond the dread of falling,
Let us rise To the prize
Of our glorious calling.
Children of the resurrection,
Lead us on To the crown
Of our full perfection.
There, where Thou art gone before us,
Christ, our Hope, Take us up,
Thy heaven restore us.
