Happy Morn Is Come

the happy morn is come!
triumphant o’er the grave,
the lord hath left the tomb
omnipotent to save.

refrain

captivity is captive led;
for jesus liveth that was dead.

who now accuseth them
for whom their surety died?
who now shall those condemn
whom god hath justified?

refrain

christ hath the ransom paid;
the glorious work is done;
oh him our help is laid;
by him our victory won.

refrain

hail, the triumphant lord!
thy resurrection thou!
we bless thy sacred word;
before thy throne we bow.
