[Him dead and buried we confess]
The fish vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
—ii. 10.
Him dead and buried we confess,
The storm our sins had raised to' appease,
Three days and nights for us confined:
But lo, emerging from the grave,
He comes, a ransom'd world to save,
He preaches life to all mankind!
The storm our sins had raised to' appease,
Three days and nights for us confined:
But lo, emerging from the grave,
He comes, a ransom'd world to save,
He preaches life to all mankind!
O that we all His words might hear,
A Greater far than Jonah fear,
And live, and die at His command!
Then shall the grave its prey restore,
Raised by His resurrection's power,
And cast us on the heavenly land.
A Greater far than Jonah fear,
And live, and die at His command!
Then shall the grave its prey restore,
Raised by His resurrection's power,
And cast us on the heavenly land.
