The Father vindicates his cause,

While he hangs bleeding on the cross.

3 He dies! the heavens in mourning stood;

He rises, the triumphant God!

Behold the Lord ascending high,

No more to bleed, no more to die.

4 Hence, and forever, from my heart,

I bid my doubts and fears depart;

And to those hands my soul resign,

Which bear credentials so divine.
