Blest morning, whose first dawning rays
by Unknown
Blest morning, whose first dawning rays "God has raised this Jesus to life" Acts 2:32 Blest morning, whose first dawning rays. Beheld the Son of God, our Lord Arise triumphant form the grave, And leave His dark abode, below. Hell and the grave combined their force To hold our Lord but all in vain; Sudden the conqueror arose And burst their weak and feeble chain. Wrapt in the silence of the tomb The great King and Redeemer lay, Till the revolving skies had brought The third, the great, the appointed day Salvation an Immortal praise To our victorious Lord and kingl Let heav'n and earth, and rocks and seas, With glad hosannas highest ring. To Father, son, and Holy Ghost. The God whom we all do adore Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore. A-men. Attributed to Isaac Watts, 1674-1748.
