1 O’er the eastern sky rose tints faintly lie,
See the dawn is nigh, shadows flee;
Lo, in swift descent angel forms are bent,
All the seals are rent, Christ is free.
Refrain:
Sing His triumph, tell the wondrous story;
Christ has ris’n, oh, tell it o’er and o’er;
Christ hath ris’n, the Lord of life and glory,
And He lives forevermore.
2 All their watchful zeal, guard and stone and seal,
To us now reveal Jesus’ power;
Ere the morn awakes, all His bonds He breaks;
Life again He takes, blessèd hour! [Refrain]
3 Past the bitter night, with the dawning light,
All the tomb is bright—sound His praise;
Christ all glorious see, His the victory,
To eternity, endless days. [Refrain]
