The Saviour's Triumph.

"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."—1 Cor. 15 : 26.
The Son of David bowed to die, For man's transgression stricken; The Father's arm of power was nigh The Son of God to quicken: Praise him, that he died for men! Praise him, that he rose again!
Death seemed all-conquering when he bound The Lord of life in prison; The might of death was nowhere found When Christ again was risen; Wherefore praise him night and day, Him, who took death's sting away!
His saints with him must bow to death, With him are raised in spirit; With him they dwell above by faith, Accepted through his merit. Who o'er death would victory win, Live to Christ, and die to sin.
Death may awhile his victims slay, Though of his terrors minished, But he shall perish in the day When God his wars has finished: Heaven and earth resound the strain, Death by Jesus Christ is slain! —Sel.
