<p>Like the golden sun ascending,<br>
Breaking through the gloom of night,<br>
On the earth His glory spending<br>
So that darkness takes to flight,<br>
Thus my Jesus from the grave<br>
And death&#8217;s dismal, dreadful cave<br>
Rose triumphant Easter morning<br>
At the early purple dawning.
<p>Thanks to Thee, O Christ victorious!<br>
Thanks to Thee, O Lord of Life!<br>
Death hath now no power o&#8217;er us,<br>
Thou hast conquered in the strife.<br>
Thanks because Thou didst arise<br>
And hast opened Paradise!<br>
None can fully sing the glory<br>
Of the resurrection story.</p>
<p>Though I be by sin o&#8217;ertaken,<br>
Though I lie in helplessness,<br>
Though I be by friends forsaken<br>
And must suffer sore distress,<br>
Though I be despised, contemned,<br>
And by all the world condemned,<br>
Though the dark grave yawn before me,<br>
Yet the light of hope shines o&#8217;er me.</p>
<p>Thou hast died for my transgression,<br>
All my sins on Thee were laid;<br>
Thou hast won for me salvation,<br>
On the cross my debt was paid.<br>
From the grave I shall arise<br>
And shall meet Thee in the skies.<br>
Death itself is transitory;<br>
I shall lift my head in glory.
<p>Grant me grace, O bless&egrave;d Savior,<br>
And Thy Holy Spirit send<br>
That my walk and my behavior<br>
May be pleasing to the end;<br>
That I may not fall again<br>
Into death&#8217;s grim pit and pain,<br>
Whence by grace Thou hast retrieved me<br>
And from which Thou hast relieved me.
<p>For the joy Thy advent gave me,<br>
For Thy holy, precious Word;<br>
For Thy baptism, which doth save me,<br>
For Thy blest communion board;<br>
For Thy death, the bitter scorn,<br>
For Thy resurrection morn,<br>
Lord, I thank Thee and extol Thee,<br>
And in heaven I shall behold Thee.</p>
