[Pg 17]

In the new-made tomb was laid.

Deep and dark the desolation

Falling with that night forlorn;

Radiant the dawn awakening

With the resurrection morn.

He has risen! By this token

We with Him shall rise again;

Faith shall vanquish doubt and terror,

Joy shall banish grief and pain.

No more fear of sin's temptation,

No more dread of hatred's scorn,

O the glory purchased for us

On the resurrection morn!

Christ is risen! Bow before Him,

To His courts an offering bring;

Suffering Lord and Lamb victorious,

Crown Him Conquerer, Priest and King.

Robe of light for robe of mocking,

Diadem for crown of thorn,
