LyicsWHILE we the empty 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 blest morn,
Brought forth our Saviour, 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 does all our fears control,
This gives a Sabbath to the soul.
Our risen Lord all things obey,
E'en death and hell must own his sway:
While saints with one accord proclaim
The glory of his endless fame.
