<poem>1. Ye humble souls that seek the Lord, | |||
Chase all your fears away; | |||
And bow with rapture down to see | |||
The place where Jesus lay. | |||
2. Thus low the Lord of life was brought, | |||
Such wonders love can do; | |||
Thus cold in death that bosom lay, | |||
Which throbbed and bled for you. | |||
3. Then raise your eyes and tune your songs; | |||
The Saviour lives again: | |||
Not all the bolts and bars of death | |||
The Conqueror could detain. | |||
4. High o'er th'angelic bands he rears | |||
His once dishonoured head; | |||
And through unnumbered years he reigns, | |||
Who dwelt among the dead. </poem> | |||

1. Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,
Chase all your fears away;
And bow with rapture down to see
The place where Jesus lay.
2. Thus low the Lord of life was brought,
Such wonders love can do;
Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
Which throbbed and bled for you.
3. Then raise your eyes and tune your songs;
The Saviour lives again:
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqueror could detain.
4. High o'er th'angelic bands he rears
His once dishonoured head;
And through unnumbered years he reigns,
Who dwelt among the dead.
