Author: Andreas Wexells Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #109 (1927) Meter: 8.8.9.9.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, this Easter morn
With joy and praises heaven-born,
And hear good news from death's dark portals
To all distress'd and grieving mortals.
O blessed Easter morning show'r
On us thy pow'r.
2 Disarm'd and crush'd, forever fell
This morn the pow'r of death and hell,
For He who lay in death's grim prison
With might and glory is arisen.
O blessed Easter morning show'r
On us thy pow'r.
3 Come, souls, by sin and death dismay'd
With all that in the grave ye laid
To Him who rose on Easter morrow
And brings you balm for all your sorrow.
O blessed Easter morning show'r
On us thy pow'r.
4 My soul, why shouldst thou grieve and pine!
The peace and joy of heav'n are thine.
The Lord arose with might supernal,
And thou art heir to life eternal.
O blessed Easter morning show'r
On us thy pow'r.
5 Come, people of the Lord, employ
Your heart and soul in songs of joy,
Go forth to meet with praises ringing
The Lord who life for death is bringing.
O blessed Easter morning show'r
On us thy pow'r. Topics: Passion and Easter Languages: English Tune Title: [Arise, my soul, this Easter morn]
