Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88)
Come, let us with our Lord arise,
our Lord who made both earth and skies,
who died to save the world he made
and rose triumphant from the dead!
He rose, the Prince of life and peace,
and stamped the day for ever his.
2. This is the day the Lord has made
that all may see his love displayed,
may feel his resurrection’s power
and rise again to fall no more,
in perfect righteousness renewed
and filled with all the life of God.
3. Then let us give him back his own,
with solemn prayer approach the throne,
with meekness hear the gospel word,
with thanks his dying love record,
our joyful hearts and voices raise
and fill his courts with songs of praise.
