Stanza 1
"I Am, saith CHRIST our glorious head,
(May we attention give)
The resurrection of the dead,
The life of all that live.
Stanza 2
By faith in me, the soul receives
New life, though dead before;
And he that in my name believes,
Shall live, to die no more.
Stanza 3
The sinner, sleeping in his grave,
Shall at my voice awake;
And when I once begin to save,
My work I ne'er forsake."
Stanza 4
Fulfill thy promise, gracious LORD,
On us assembled here,
Put forth thy Spirit with the word,
And cause the dead to hear.
Stanza 5
Preserve the pow'r of faith alive,
In those who love thy name;
145 For sin and Satan daily strive
To quench the sacred flame.
Stanza 6
Thy pow'r and mercy first prevailed
From death to set us free;
And often since our life had failed,
If not renewed by thee.
Stanza 7
To thee we look, to thee we bow;
To thee, for help, we call;
Our life and resurrection thou,
Our hope, our joy, our all.
