Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #433 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Love's redeeming work is done;
fought the fight, the battle won:
lo, our Sun's eclipse is o'er,
lo, he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
3 Lives again our glorious King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
foll'wing our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
5 Hail the Lord of earth and heav'n!
praise to thee by both be giv'n:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou! Topics: Easter; Year A Easter Day; Year B Easter Day; Year C Easter Day; Years A, B, and C Easter Eve Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Languages: English Tune Title: SAVANNAH
