Go, and search the tomb of Jesus,
  Where the Lord of glory lay;
     Jesus is not there, but risen,
  And has borne our sins away,
   It is finished !
  Captive led captivity.

Could not all our sins retain Him,
  Prisoned in the guarded cave ?
     These He blotted out in dying,
  By His cross He spoiled the grave:
   Lo ! He's risen !
  Yes, the Lord is risen indeed.

 

 

8,7.             R. Chapman, 1837
