LyicsWhile we the empty tomb survey,
We sing the triumphs of this day;
The Savior rose! He broke Death's chain,
And all our hellish foes are slain.
The barren grave, on this blest morn,
Brought forth our Savior, her firstborn;
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.
