LyicsBehold! the bright morning appears,
And Jesus revives from the grave;
His rising removes all our fears,
And shows him almighty to save.
How strong were his tears and his cries!
The worth of his blood, how divine!
How perfect was his sacrifice,
Who rose, though he suffered for sin!
The man that was crowned with thorns,
The man that on Calvary died,
The man that bore scourging and scorns,
Whom sinners agreed to deride--
Now blessed forever is made,
And life ahs rewarded his pain;
Now glory has crowned his head;
Heaven sings of the Lamb that was slain.
