No future morning light the tomb, Nor daystar gild the darksome skies? 3. Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears: When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprang, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And Heaven with praise and wonder rang. 4. Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold, to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. Languages: English Tune Title: ROSEDALE
