See the great Antitype arise

Verse 1
See the great antitype arise,
While darkness yet involves the skies,
His Israel from their foes to save,
He bursts the barriers of the grave,
Puts forth his strength invincible,
And tears up all the gates of hell!

Verse 2
Triumphant o’er his baffled foes,
The trophies openly he shews:
And daily, in his people’s cause,
He spreads the victory of his cross,
And still he takes the spoils, and still
He bears them up the heavenly hill!
