LyicsWHILE we the op'ning tomb survey,
We sing the triumphs of this day:
The Saviour rose! He broke death's chain
And all our hellish foes are slain.
The barren grave, on this bless'd morn,
Brought forth our Jesus, her first born:
Soon shall she feel a second throe,
And bring forth all his brethren too.
The life which wrought in Christ our head,
Secures our rising from the dead:
This faith doth all our fears control;
This gives a sabbath to the soul.
Our risen Lord all things obey:
E'n death and hell must own his sway:
While we survey these wond'rous things,
Our hearts beat joy through all their strings.
