¶Lyrics / Text

4. Around the bloody tree, Ye pressed with strong desire; The wondrous sight to see, The Lord of life expire. :And could your eyes :Have known a tear, :Had dropped it there :In sad surprise. 5. Around the sacred tomb A willing watch ye keep; Till the blest moment come To rouse Him from His sleep; :Then rolled the stone, :And all adored :Your rising Lord :With joy unknown. 6. When all arrayed in light, The shining Conqueror rode, Ye hailed His rapturous flight Up to the throne of God; :And waved around :Your golden wings, :And struck your strings :Of sweetest sound. 7. The warbling notes pursue, And louder anthems raise; While mortals sing with you Their own Redeemer's praise: :And thou, my heart, :With equal flame, :And joy the same, :Perform thy part.
