Music: Darwall’s 148th, , in The New Un­i­ver­sal Psalm­o­dist, by , 1770.


The happy morn is come!
Triumphant o’er the grave,
The Lord hath left the tomb
Omnipotent to save.

Refrain

Captivity is captive led;
For Jesus liveth that was dead.

Who now accuseth them
For whom their Surety died?
Who now shall those condemn
Whom God hath justified?

Refrain

Christ hath the ransom paid;
The glorious work is done;
Oh Him our help is laid;
By Him our victory won.

Refrain

Hail, the triumphant Lord!
Thy resurrection Thou!
We bless Thy sacred Word;
Before Thy throne we bow.
