Full Lyrics
He dies! The Heavenly lover dies!
The tidings strike a doleful found
On my poor heartstrings: Deep he lies
In the cold caverns of the ground!
Come, saints, and drop a tear or two
On the dear bosom of your God ;
He sheds a thousand drops for you;
A thousand drops of richer blood!
Here's love and grief beyond degree,
The Lord of glory dies for men!
But, lo, what sudden joys I see!
Jesus the dead revives again.
