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 hath made’ That all may see His love displayed, May feel His resurrection’s power, And live again to fall no more; Their heart and mind and will renewed, And filled with all the life of God. |
||
3 | Then let us render Him 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. |
||
4 | Honour and praise to Jesus pay Throughout His consecrated day; Be all in Jesus’ praise employed, Nor leave a single moment void; With utmost care the time improve, And only breathe His praise and love. |

Charles Wesley, 1707-88 |
