\verse1. \idx{Bring, all ye dear-bought nations, bring}\\
Your richest praises to your King,\\
Alleluia, alleluia.\\
That spotless Lamb, who more than due,\\
Paid for His sheep , and those sheep you:\\
Alleluia, alleluia,\\
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

\verse2. That guiltless Son, who bought your peace,\\
And made His Father's anger cease,\\
Alleluia, alleluia.\\
Then, Life and Death together fought,\\
Each to a strange extreme was brought:

\verse3. Life died, but soon revived again,\\
And even death by it was slain,\\
Alleluia, alleluia.\\
Say, happy Magdalen, oh say,\\
What didst thou see there by the way?:


\verse4. ``I saw the tomb of my dear Lord,\\
I saw Himself and Him adored;\\
Alleluia, alleluia.\\
I saw the napkin and the sheet,\\
That bound His hands and wrapped His feet:''

\verse5. We, Lord, with faithful hearts and voice,\\
On this Thy rising day rejoice;\\
Alleluia, alleluia.\\
O Thou, whose power o'ercame the grave,\\
By grace and love us sinners save:
