6,6,6,6,8,8.
by T. Haweis, 1792
1
Jesus, the Lord, is risen
 
Triumphant o’er the grave;
 
For us He burst the prison,
 
Almighty now to save:
 
Captivity is captive led,
 
Since Jesus liveth that was dead.
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)
“Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.” (Ephesians 4:8)
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18)
2
Who to our charge shall lay
 
Iniquity or guilt?
 
Our sin is done away
 
Since Jesus’ blood was spilt.
 
Captivity is captive led,
 
Since Jesus liveth that was dead.
“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.” (Romans 8:33)
3
Who now accuseth them
 
Whom God hath justified?
 
Or who shall those condemn
 
For whom the Surety died?
 
Captivity is captive led,
 
Since Jesus liveth that was dead.
4
Christ hath the ransom paid,
 
The wondrous work is done;
 
On Him our help is laid,
 
The victory is won.
 
Captivity is captive led,
 
Since Jesus liveth that was dead.
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” (John 17:4)
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30)
“Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.” (Psalm 89:19)
