[Jesus risen from the dead]

He goeth before you into Galilee. —xvi. 7.

Jesus risen from the dead
Doth to us appear again,
Goes before, our living Head,
Makes our way direct and plain;
Still conducts the souls He loves,
Captain on His church bestow'd,
Every obstacle removes,
Brings us to the mount of God.
Marching through the vale below
On His promise we depend,
After Him in safety go,
Daily on His cross ascend
To that heavenly Galilee;
Trusting our celestial Guide
Him we shall in glory see,
Sit enraptured at His side.
