Lyics

While 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.
