LyicsBlest morning! whose young dawning rays
Beheld our rising Lord:
That saw him triumph o'er the dust,
And leave his dark abode.
In the cold prison of a tomb
The great Redeemer lay,
Till the revolving skies had brought
The third, the 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.
