2. Crucified, thus He suffered and bled for me,
Death and the grave won sin’s victory;
Then the sky grew dark and the temple veil rent in
twain,
Rocks rent, and angels came, for He lived again.
3. At His feet, on old Olivet’s Hill they say
Cloud chariots halted, took Christ away;
Then the angels came and to wond’ring disciples
said
He’ll come, and earth and sea shall yield up their
dead.
Chorus: I am so happy in Jesus,
Captivity’s Captor is He;
Angels rejoice when a soul’s saved,
Some day we like Him shall be,
Sorrow and joy have the same Lord,
Valley of shadows shall sing;
Death has its life, its door opens in Heaven
eternally,
Christ is King!
Arrangement also contains "Art Thou Weary?"
words by John M. Neale from the Greek of Stephen the
Sabaite
music by Henry W. Baker
1. Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distrest?
“Come to Me,” saith One, “and, coming,
“Be at rest.”
2. Hath He marks to lead me to Him,
If He be my Guide?
“In His feet and hands are wound-prints,
“And His side.”
3. Is there diadem, as Monarch,
That His brow adorns?
“Yea, a crown, in very surety,
“But of thorns.”
4. If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
“Sorrow vanquished, labor ended,
“Jordan passed.”
5. If I ask Him to receive me,
Will He say me nay?
“Not till earth and not till Heaven
“Pass away.”
6. Finding, foll’wing, keeping, struggling,
Is He sure to bless?
Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs
Answer, “Yes.”
