Break forth into praise! Our Surety and Head

Verse 1
Break forth into praise!
Our surety and head,
His members to raise,
Hath rose from the dead:
The power of his Spirit
Hath quicken’d our Lord,
That we by his merit
May all be restor’d.

Verse 2
Our Captain and King
With shouts we proclaim,
And joyfully sing
The wonderful name;
The name all-victorious
We publish, and feel,
Triumphantly glorious
O’er sin, earth, and hell.

Verse 3
The power of his rise
We know and declare,
And rapt to the skies,
His happiness share;
In heavenly places
With Jesus we sit,
And Jesus’s praises
With angels repeat.

Verse 4
We sing of his love
While sojourning here,
Till Christ from above
Our Saviour appear;
The heirs of salvation
With triumph receive,
In full consummation
Of glory to live.
