Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #265 (1899) Lyrics: 1 How calm and beautiful the morn
That gilds the sacred tomb,
Where once the Crucified was borne,
And veiled in midnight gloom.
Oh, weep no more the Saviour slain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
2 Ye mourning saints, dry every tear
For your departed Lord:
"Behold the place, He is not here,"
The tomb is all unbarred;
The gates of death were closed in vain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
3 How tranquil now the rising day!
'Tis Jesus still appears,
A risen Lord, to chase away
Your unbelieving fears:
Oh, weep no more your comforts slain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
4 And when the shades of evening fall,
When life's last hour draws nigh,
If Jesus shine upon the soul,
How blissful then to die;
Since He has risen that once was slain,
Ye die in Christ to live again.
Amen. Topics: Christ Conqueror; Christ Joy of believers in; Christ The Life; Christ Resurrection of; Christ Pledge of our Resurrection; Christ Triumph of; Death Confidence in; Death Conquered; Easter Languages: English Tune Title: HASTINGS
