Who seek the Crucified

Verse 1
Who seek the Crucified,
Dismiss your needless fear:
He once for sinners died,
But lies no longer here:
This is the third triumphant day:
Come, see the place where Jesus lay.

Verse 2
Among the dead in vain
Ye seek your heavenly Lord:
He lives, he lives again
According to his word!
Receive the power his life imparts,
And find him risen in your hearts.
