Tune: | [Long ago at early dawn] |
Composer: | Herbert G. Tovey |
1 Long ago at early dawn,
Came they to the grave to mourn;
But the stone was rolled away,
Bright angel words proclaimed the day.
Refrain:
Christ arose, He is not here,
Was the message, never fear;
For He who came to seek and save,
Is now the Victor o’er the grave.
2 Go and tell the faithful few,
Tell them of the story true;
Tell them of the open grave,
And of the victory God gave. [Refrain]
3 Easter morn, O happy day,
Theme of brightest angel’s lay;
Day in which God’s mighty pow’r
Was manifest o’er death’s dark hour. [Refrain]
4 Easter day we welcome thee,
Jesus rose, we now are free
From the pow’r of sin and Hell;
We gladly will the message tell. [Refrain]
