Lyics

MORNING breaks upon the tomb;
Jesus dissipates its gloom;
Day of triumph through the skies-
See the glorious Saviour rise.
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
See the glorious Saviour rise.


Drive your anxious cares away;
See the place where Jesus lay;
Ye, who are of death afraid,
Triumph in the scattered shade:
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Triumph in the scattered shade.


Christians, dry your flowing tears;
Chase those unbelieving fears:
Look on his deserted grave;
Doubt no more his power to save:
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Doubt no more his power to save.
