Christ My Song - 469
Soon this corruptible - Resurrection
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Resurrection.
1. Soon this corruptible
shall from the tomb
rise incorruptible,
leaving the gloom.
Soon shall this mortal frame
spring from its bed of shame,
spring from its bed of shame,
when Christ hath come. PDF - Midi
2. Bright morn of morns to me,
when I arise,
leaving the grave behind;
when these dull eyes
shall my Redeemer see
in immortality,
in immortality,
in yonder skies!
3. Then shall the glorious hope
come from on high;
death shall be swallowed up
in victory.
Then shall we gladly sing,
death, where is now thy sting,
death, where is now thy sting,
thy victory?
4. Grave, where thy triumph now,
thy victory?
Where are thy captives now?
Set free, set free!
Torn from thy grasp are they,
plucked from thy power away,
plucked from thy power away,
set free, set free!
5. Thanks, then, to God our Lord,
thanks ever be!
Praises to Christ our Lord
for ever be!
Who o'er the mortal gloom,
who o'er the hateful tomb,
who o'er the hateful tomb,
gives victory.
