Tune: Truro

('Christ is alive! Let Christians sing')

(Also one tune to 'Jesus shall reign where'er the sun')

Luke 24 v.44-49

**********

Christ said, All things of me must be

Fulfilled, from law and prophets, see

The things concerning me, then He

Opened their {the disciples} understanding free

 

So they night understand scriptures

He said to them, he them assures

That it was written, and needs be

That He suffer, die, rise truly

 

And that repentance, remission

Be preached in His name, He God's Son

Forgiveness of sins, all nations

All may receive, e'en all stations* {* all classes, races, etc}

 

At Jerusalem beginning

Of this witness, good news to bring

And, behold, He sends the promise

Of His Spirit, they not Him miss

 

The Spirit from the Father, though

They to wait a while, then to know

Enduing of power from on

High, then soon view His ascension
