The day was dark,
and all seemed lost when to the tomb
They bore the form
of Christ the crucified.
Loved ones hoped
that He would reign—
But their hopes were all in vain,
For they saw Him as
upon the cross He died.
But there dawned
a resurrection morn so fair,
When the Savior rose
from out the tomb;
For the angels came
and rolled the stone away,
And today is banished
all earth’s gloom.
The stone before the door
was set and firmly sealed—
A guard was placed
to watch by night and day,
For they feared that from the dead
He would rise as He had said,
Or perchance His own
would spirit Him away.
But there dawned
a resurrection morn so fair,
When the Savior rose
from out the tomb;
For the angels came
and rolled the stone away,
And today is banished
all earth’s gloom.
Oh, sad and lonely ones today,
look up! rejoice!
The empty tomb
with praises may resound,
Over mountain, hill and plain,
Let there ring the glad refrain,
Bringing hope and cheer
wherever man is found.
But there dawned
a resurrection morn so fair,
When the Savior rose
from out the tomb;
For the angels came
and rolled the stone away,
And today is banished
all earth’s gloom.
