And seized eternal youth,
Man all immortal, hail!
Heaven's all the glory, man's the boundless bliss.

“YES, THE REDEEMER ROSE.”
In the six-eight syllable verse once known as “hallelujah metre”—written by Dr. Doddridge to be sung after a sermon on the text in 1st Corinthians noted in the above anthem—
Yes, the Redeemer rose,
The Saviour left the dead,
And o'er our hellish foes
High raised His conquering head.
