Christ My Song - 223

Morning breaks upon the tomb
(William Bengo Collyer/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Morning breaks upon the tomb.

1. Morning breaks upon the tomb,
  Jesus dissipates its gloom!
Day of triumph through the skies;
  see the glorious Saviour rise. PDF - Midi

2. Christians, dry your flowing tears,
  chase those unbelieving fears;
look on his deserted grave;
  doubt no more his power to save.

3. Ye who are of death afraid,
  triumph in the scattered shade:
drive your anxious cares away;
  see the place where Jesus lay.

4. So the rising sun appears,
  shedding radiance o'er the spheres;
so returning beams of light
  chase the terrors of the night.

William Bengo Collyer, in: Philip Schaff: Christ in Song, 1870, 218.
