light's glittering morn bedecks the sky - horatio parker lyrics

light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky;
heaven thunders forth its victor cry;
the glad earth shouts her triumph high
and groaning h-ll makes wild reply
while he, the king, the mighty king
despoiling death of all its sting
and trampling down the powers of might
brings forth his ransomed saints to light
that eastertide with joy was bright
the sun shone out with fairer light
when to their longing eyes restored
the apostles saw their risen lord:
he bade them see his hands, his side
where yet the glorious wounds abide;
these tokens true which made it plain
their lord indeed was risen again
o jesu, king of gentleness
do thou thyself our hearts possess
that we may give thee all our days
the tribute of our grateful praise
o lord of all with us abide
in this our joyful eastertide
from every weapon death can wield
thine own redeemed forever shield
the strife is o’er, the battle done
the victory of life is won
the song of triumph has begun: alleluia
all praise be thine, o risen lord
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to god, the father be
and holy ghost eternally
alleluia. amen
