Analyze: Christ Jesus Lay In Death's Strong Bands

by Wesley, Charles (1707-1788);unknown, tr. unknown

Song Lyrics

1. Christ Je- sus lay in death's strong bands, For our of- fen- ses giv- en; But now at God's right hand He stands, And brings us life from Hea- ven. Where- fore let us joy- ful be, And sing to God right thank- ful- ly Loud songs of Al- le- lu- ia! Al- le- lu- ia!

2. No son of man could con- quer Death, Such mis- chief sin had wrought us, For in- no- cence dwelt not on earth, And there- fore Death had brought us In- to thrall- dom from of old And ev- er grew more strong and bold And kept us in his bon- dage. Al- le- lu- ia!

3. But Je- sus Christ, God's on- ly Son, To our low state de- scend- ed, The cause of Death He has un- done, His power for- ev- er end- ed, Ru- ined all his right and claim And left him no- thing but the name, His sting is lost for- ev- er. Al- le- lu- ia!

4. It was a strange and dread- ful strife When life and death con- ten- ded; The vic- to- ry re- mained with life; The reign of death was end- ed. Stripped of power, no more it reigns, An emp- ty form a- lone re- mains Death's sting is lost for- ev- er! Al- le- lu- ia!

5. Here the true Pas- chal Lamb we see, Whom God so free- ly gave us; He died on the ac- cur- sed tree So strong His love! to save us. See, His blood doth mark our door; Faith points to it, Death pas- ses o'er, And Sa- tan can- not harm us. Al- le- lu- ia!
