HYMN 72. (C. M.) The Lord's Day; or, the Resurrection of Christ.
I
Bless'd morning, whose young dawning raysBeheld our rising God,
That saw him triumph o'er the dust,
And leave his dark abode.
II
In the cold prison of a tomb,The dead Redeemer lay,
Till the revolving skies had brought
The third, th'appointed day.
III
Hell and the grave unite their forceTo hold our God in vain,
The sleeping Conqueror arose,
And burst their feeble chain.
319
IV
To thy great name, almighty Lord,These sacred hours we pay,
And loud hosannas shall proclaim
The triumph of the day.
V
Salvation and immortal praiseTo our victorious King,
Let heaven, and earth, and rocks, and seas,
With glad hosannas ring.
