HE joyful day at last is come,
When Jesus rose again,
And burst from out the rocky tomb
Where He three days had lain.
EASTER HYMN.
FOR A LITTLE CHILD.
HE joyful day at last is come,When Jesus rose again,
And burst from out the rocky tomb
Where He three days had lain.
They set a watch and sealed the stone,
But at the dawn of day
An angel of the Lord came down,
And rolled that stone away;
But at the dawn of day
An angel of the Lord came down,
And rolled that stone away;
And bid the women weeping there
Come see where He had lain,
And to His friends with haste declare
That Jesus lived again.
Come see where He had lain,
And to His friends with haste declare
That Jesus lived again.
O Saviour! grant that while we live,
To sin we all may die;
So Thou to us new life shall give,
When we in death shall lie.
To sin we all may die;
So Thou to us new life shall give,
When we in death shall lie.
