| That Christ should SUFFER, and that He should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. (Acts 26:23) |
| Those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should SUFFER, He hath so fulfilled. (Acts 3:18) |
| Testified beforehand the SUFFERINGS of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (1 Peter 1:11) |
O Lord! Thou now art risen;
Thy travail all is o’er;
For sin Thou once hast SUFFERED —
Thou livest to die no more;
Sin, death and hell are vanquished
By Thee, the church’s Head;
And lo! we share Thy triumphs,
Thou Firstborn from the dead. |
