  *++Lyrics:|\\
Blest morning, whose young dawning rays\\
Beheld our rising God,\\
That saw Him triumph o'er the dust,\\
And leave His dark abode!\\
\\
In the cold prison of a tomb\\
The dead Redeemer lay,\\
Till the revolving skies had brought\\
The third, th'appointed day.\\
\\
Hell and the grave unite their force\\
To hold our God in vain;\\
The sleeping Conqueror arose,\\
And burst their feeble chain.\\
\\
To Thy great Name, almighty Lord,\\
These sacred hours we pay;\\
And loud hosannas shall proclaim\\
The triumph of the day.\\
\\
Salvation and immortal praise\\
To our victorious King;\\
Let Heav'n, and earth, and rocks, and seas,\\
With glad hosannas ring.\\
\\
