Words: , Carmina Christo, 1792. 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.
