LyicsBLEST morn, whose early dawning rays
Beheld the Son of God;
That saw him triumph o'er the dust,
And leave his dark abode.
A silent pris'ner in the tomb
The great Redeemer lay,
Till the revolving skies had brought
The third, th' appointed day.
Hell and the grave unite their force
To hold our Lord in vain:
The sleeping Conqueror arose,
And burst their feeble chain.
To thy great name, Almighty Lord,
These sacred hours we pay;
And loud hosannas shall proclaim
The triumph of the day.
Salvation and immortal praise
To our victorious King;
Let heaven and earth, and rocks and seas,
With glad hosannas ring.
