"LAZARUS, COME FORTH."ThusJesus spoke—the earth dismayedOpened its womb;The dead man heard, his Lord obeyed;He left his tomb:And thousands, unbelievers, sawThe power of God;Then they believed his holy law,And word, that burst the sod.Thus when he frees the wicked heartFrom earth's control,Sin and ungodliness departFrom the waked soul.He cleans it by his blood and death—To it is givenTo know, all peace, all hope, all faith,All ante-taste of heaven.

ThusJesus spoke—the earth dismayed
Opened its womb;
The dead man heard, his Lord obeyed;
He left his tomb:
And thousands, unbelievers, saw
The power of God;
Then they believed his holy law,
And word, that burst the sod.
Thus when he frees the wicked heartFrom earth's control,Sin and ungodliness departFrom the waked soul.He cleans it by his blood and death—To it is givenTo know, all peace, all hope, all faith,All ante-taste of heaven.
Thus when he frees the wicked heart
From earth's control,
Sin and ungodliness depart
From the waked soul.
He cleans it by his blood and death—
To it is given
To know, all peace, all hope, all faith,
All ante-taste of heaven.
