lyrics

How calm and beautiful the morn that gilds the sacred tomb,
Where Christ the Crucified was borne, and veiled in midnight gloom!
Ye mourning saints, dry every tear for your departed Lord;
Behold the place, He is not here, the tomb is all unbarred;
The gates of death were closed in vain: The Lord is risen; He lives again.

Now cheerful to the house of prayer your early footsteps bend;
The Savior will Himself be there, your Advocate and Friend:
Once by the law your hopes were slain, but now in Christ you live again.
Once by the law your hopes were slain, but now in Christ you live again .

The end of days comes swiftly on, but death shall ‘rouse no fear
For Christ, who conquered death and hell, in glory shall appear
To dry our tears and silence pain, we die in Christ to live again.
To dry our tears and silence pain, we die in Christ to live again.
