Resurrection of Christ

HOSANNA ! let us join to sing
The glories of our rising King ;
Recount his deeds of might, and tell
How Jesus triumphed when he fell.

Soon as the morning's early ray
Brings on the third, th' appointed day,
Behold the angel cleave the skies,
Roll back the stone, and Jesus rise

With strength immortal forth he comes,
And power and life from God resumes ;
The days of pain and sorrow past,
His triumph shall for ever last.

Hosanna ! sons of men, record
The glories of your rising Lord ;
The triumphs of the Saviour tell,
Who died, and conquered when he fell
