Come, Let Us Rise with Christ

Come, let us rise with Christ our Head

And seek the things above,

By the almighty Spirit led

And filled with faith and love;

Our hearts detached from all below

Should after Him ascend,

And only wish the joy to know

Of our triumphant Friend.

Enthroned at God’s right hand He sits,

Maintainer of our cause,

Till every vanquished foe submits

To His victorious cross;

Worthy to be exalted thus,

The Lamb for sinners slain,

The Lord our King, Who reigns for us,

And shall forever reign.

To Him our willing hearts we give

Who gives us power and peace,

And dead to sin, His members live

The life of righteousness;

The hidden life of Christ is ours

With Christ concealed above,

And tasting the celestial powers,

We banquet on His love.
