THE happy morn is come; Triumphant o’er the grave, The Saviour leaves the tomb, Omnipotent to save:
Captivity is captive led, For Jesus liveth, Who was dead.
Who now accuses them For whom their Surety died? Who shall their souls condemn Whom God has justified?
Christ has the ransom paid; The glorious work is done; On Him our help is laid— By Him our victory won.
To God the Father, Son, And Spirit of all grace, Eternal Three in One, Be everlasting praise.
Thomas Haweis, 1732-1820
