Original text and translations

English text

1  Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,  Chase all your fears away;  And bow with rapture down to see  The place where Jesus lay. 2  Thus low the Lord of life was brought,  Such wonders love can do;  Thus cold in death that bosom lay,  Which throbbed and bled for you.

3  Then raise your eyes and tune your songs;  The Saviour lives again:  Not all the bolts and bars of death  The Conqueror could detain. 4  High o'er th'angelic bands he rears  His once dishonoured head;  And through unnumbered years he reigns,  Who dwelt among the dead.
