Fairford by Jacob Kimball — Lyrics
1. Jesus, who died a world to save,
Revives and rises from the grave,
By his almighty power;
From sin, and death, and hell set free,
He captive leads captivity,
And lives to die no more.

About Fairford
This SATB setting of an English text by Jacob Kimball would be particularly appropriate for Eastertide, celebrating the Resurrection of Christ. The words focus on Jesus' victory over death and sin, and the believer's aspiration to live a heavenly life, 'to earthly pleasure dead'. Kimball's music likely offers a straightforward and devotional setting of this powerful theological message, suitable for a church choir seeking to convey the joy and triumph of the Easter message.
