|
<p>Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky;<br>
|
|
Heav’n thunders forth its victor cry;<br>
|
|
The glad earth shouts her triumph high,<br>
|
|
And groaning hell makes wild reply.</p>
|
|
<p>While He, the King, the mighty King,<br>
|
|
Despoiling death of all its sting,<br>
|
|
And, trampling down the powers of night,<br>
|
|
Brings forth His ransomed saints to light.</p>
|
|
<p>His tomb of late the threefold guard<br>
|
|
Of watch and stone and seal had barred;<br>
|
|
But now, in pomp and triumph high,<br>
|
|
He comes from death to victory.</p>
|
|
<p>The pains of hell are loosed at last;<br>
|
|
The days of mourning now are past;<br>
|
|
An angel robed in light hath said,<br>
|
|
“The Lord is risen from the dead.”</p>
|
|
<p>Th’Apostles’ hearts were full of pain<br>
|
|
For their dear Lord so lately slain,<br>
|
|
By rebel servants doomed to die<br>
|
|
A death of cruel agony.</p>
|
|
<p>With gentle voice the angel gave<br>
|
|
The women tidings at the grave;<br>
|
|
“Fear not, your Master shall ye see;<br>
|
|
He goes before to Galilee.”</p>
|
|
<p>Then, hastening on their eager way<br>
|
|
The joyful tidings to convey,<br>
|
|
Their Lord they met, their living Lord,<br>
|
|
And falling at His feet adored.</p>
|
|
<p>Th’Eleven, when they hear, with speed<br>
|
|
To Galilee forthwith proceed,<br>
|
|
That there once more they may behold<br>
|
|
The Lord’s dear face, as He foretold.</p>
