[Why should believers droop?]

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed, &c. —ii. 24.

Why should believers droop?
The Father of our Lord
Again hath raised Him up,
The dead to life restored:
Jesus, His mortal pangs are o'er,
He lives, He lives to die no more.
149

It was not possible
That Hades should hold fast
The God who saves from hell,
And death destroys at last;
Long in the grave He could not lie,
Or Life Himself for ever die.
