<p>The morning purples all the sky,<br>
The air with praises rings,<br>
Defeated hell stands sullen by,<br>
The world exulting sings.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Glory to God! our glad lips cry;<br>
All praise and worship be<br>
On earth, in heaven, to God most high,<br>
For Christ&#8217;s great victory,<br>
For Christ&#8217;s great victory.</p>
<p>While He, the King all strong to save,<br>
Rends the dark doors away,<br>
And through the breaches of the grave,<br>
Strides forth into the day.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Death&#8217;s captive, in his gloomy prison,<br>
Fast fettered He has lain,<br>
But He has mastered death, is risen,<br>
And death now wears the chain.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>The shining angels cry, &#8220;Away<br>
With grief; no spices bring;<br>
Not tears, but songs, this joyful day,<br>
Should greet the rising King!&#8221;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>That Thou our Paschal Lamb may&#8217;st be,<br>
And endless joy begin.<br>
Jesus, Deliverer, set us free<br>
From the dread death of sin.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
