v.1 He died! The great Redeemer died, v.2 Come, Saints, and drop a tear or two v.3 Here's love and grief beyond degree; v.4 The rising Lord forsook the tomb. And Israel's daughters wept around. For him who groaned beneath your load; The Lord of glory died for men. In vain the tomb forbade him rise. solemn darkness veiled the sky; He shed a thousand drops for you, But lo! what sudden joys were heard! Cherubic legions guard him home A sudden trembling shook the ground. A thousand drops of precious blood. The Lord, though dead, revived again. And shout him welcome to the skies.
