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
