Lacey, 1853-1931 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide Lyrics: 1 The day draws on with golden light, Glad songs go echoing through the height, The broad earth lifts an answering cheer, And hell makes moan with wailing fear. 2 For lo, he comes, the mighty King, To take from death his power and sting, To trample down his gloomy reign, And break the weary prisoner’s chain. 3 Enclosed he lay in rocky cell, With guard of armèd sentinel; But thence returning, strong and free, He comes in might of victory. 4 The sad Apostles mourn him slain, Nor hope to see their Lord again, When, to their very eyes restored, They look upon the risen Lord. 5 *Those wounds before their eyes displayed They see in heavenly light arrayed, And what they see they testify In open witness fearlessly. 6 *O Christ, the King of gentleness, Thy people's hearts do thou possess, That we may render all our days An endless sacrifice of praise. 7 Maker of all, to thee we pray, Fulfil in us thy joy today; When death assails, grant, Lord, that we May share thy Paschal victory. 8 To thee who, dead, again dost live, All glory, Lord, thy people give, All glory to the Father be And Spirit blest, eternally. Amen. Used With Tune: AURORA LUCIS Text Sources: Latin, probably 4th century
