I: "I am," saith Christ, "your glorious head,"

(May we attention give,)

"The resurrection of the dead, / The life of all that live.

II: "By faith in me the soul receives / New life, though dead before; / And he that in my name believes, / Shall live to die no more.

III: "The sinner, sleeping in his grave, / Shall at my voice awake; / And when I once begin to save, / My work I ne'er forsake."

IV: Fulfill thy promise, gracious Lord, / On us assembled here; / Put forth thy Spirit with the word, / And cause the dead to hear.

V: Preserve the power of faith alive / In those who love thy name; / For sin and Satan daily strive / To quench the sacred flame.

VI: Thy power and mercy first prevail'd / From death to set us free; / And often since our life had fail'd, / If not renew'd by thee.

VII: To thee we look, to thee we bow, / To thee for help we call; / Our life and resurrection thou, / Our hope, our joy, our all.
