A-men. gath-ered a-round Him, And short the do- min - ion of death and the grave; He burst from the fetters of dark-ness that bound him, Re-splen-dent in an-gels on high, The Saviour hath ris-en, and man shall not die. A-men. 2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy; The being He gave us death cannot destroy; Sad were the life we must part with to-morrow, If tears were our birthright, and death were our end; And bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend: Lift then your voices in triumph on high, Amen. 189 HOLY CROSS C.

A - men. 2 And what I say, let each this morn That soon in every place shall dawn 3 Now first to souls who thus awake 4 The fears of death and of the grave 5 The way of darkness that He trod Shall reach His Father's home. Amen. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia! 4 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! 5 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia! Made like Him, like Him we rise; Alleluia! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia! Amen. Raise your joys and tri-umphs high, Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth re-ply. A-men. 2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the victory won: Jesus' agony is o'er, Darkness veils the earth no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, 4 Lives again our glorious King, Where, O Death, is now thy sting? 5 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Amen. |
