1 The Son of David bowed to die, For man's transgression stricken; The Father's arm of power was nigh, The Son of God to quicken. Praise Him that He died for men; Praise Him that He rose again. 2 Death seemed all-conquering when he bound The Lord of life in prison; The night of death was nowhere found When Christ again was risen; Wherefore praise Him night and day, Him who took death's sting away. 3 His saints with Him must bow to death, With Him are raised in spirit, With Him they dwell above by faith, Accepted through His merit; Heaven and earth resound the strain, Death by Jesus Christ is slain. Amen.
