1. Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,
1. Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,
  Chase all your fears away;
Chase all your fears away;
  And bow with rapture down to see
And bow with rapture down to see
  The place where Jesus lay.
The place where Jesus lay.


2. Thus low the Lord of life was brought,
2. Thus low the Lord of life was brought,
  Such wonders love can do;
Such wonders love can do;
  Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
  Which throbbed and bled for you.
Which throbbed and bled for you.


3. Then raise your eyes and tune your songs;
3. Then raise your eyes and tune your songs;
  The Saviour lives again:
The Saviour lives again:
  Not all the bolts and bars of death
Not all the bolts and bars of death
  The Conqueror could detain.
The Conqueror could detain.


4. High o'er th'angelic bands he rears
4. High o'er th'angelic bands he rears
  His once dishonoured head;
His once dishonoured head;
  And through unnumbered years he reigns,
And through unnumbered years he reigns,
  Who dwelt among the dead. </poem>
Who dwelt among the dead. </poem>
