Morning breaks upon the tomb;
Jesus scatters all its gloom.
Day of triumph through the skies;
See the glorious Saviour rise.
Ye who are of death afraid
Triumph in the scattered shade.
Drive your anxious cares away;
See the place where Jesus lay.
Christians, dry your flowing tears
Chase your unbelieving fears;
Look on His deserted grave,
Doubt no more His power to save.
See the rising sun appears,
Shedding radiance o’er the spheres;
So returning beams of light
Chase the terrors of the night.
---Alternative verses---
Ye who are of death afraid
Triumph in the scattered shade.
Drive your anxious fears away;
See the place where Jesus lay.
Christians, dry your flowing tears
Chase those unbelieving fears;
Look on His deserted grave,
Doubt no more His power to save.
See the rising sun appears,
Shedding radiance o’er the spheres;
Lo! returning beams of light
Chase the terrors of the night.
