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.
