IS Easter Morn! I see it breaking O ’er the ruddy hilltops fa r ! Fast the sun’s light now is waking; Vanish every twinkling star; , Ushering in the glorious morning O f that day when Jesus rose, With its brightest rays adorning Scenes of earth, to end our woes. The work “ is finished!” He is risen! Death’s cerements He casts aside! No longer is'the grave His prison— In Him it oped its portals wide 1 “ It is finished!” Winds proclaiming In anguish that His work is done! What joy should fill our souls, in naming Our Saviour Christ God’s only Son.
