| Has left the darksome grave, |
| And, death by Him abolished, |
| He's mighty now to save; |
| And we with Him are risen, |
| The fruit of all His toil, |
| The firstfruits of His harvest, |
| His suffering's richest spoil. |

| In Him we too are seated, |
| Oh blessèd, wondrous grace! |
| Accepted and belovèd, |
| In Him, in sonship's place. |

| To fill their heavenly place; |
| Oh! with what joy ascending |
| We'll meet Him in the air, |
| To dwell with Him in glory, |
| And His blest image bear. |
