LyicsBehold the bright morning appears,
And Jesus revives from the grave!
His rising removes all our fears,
And shows that he's mighty to save.
How strong were his tears and his cries!
The worth of his blood, how divine!
How perfect is his sacrifice,
Who rose, tho' he suffer'd for sin!
The man, that was crowned with thorns,
The man, that on Calvary died,
The man, that bore scourging and thorns,
Whom sinners agreed to deride -
Now blessed forever, is made,
And life has rewarded his pain;
Now glory has crowned his head;
Heav'n sings to the Lamb that was slain.
Believing we share in his joy;
By faith we partake in his rest:
With this we can cheerfully die,
For with him we hope to be bless'd.
We wait for his coming again,
To raise us in glory like him;
This glory his saints shall obtain,
His foes shall be clothed with shame.
