Author: William B. Collyer Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Morning breaks upon the tomb;
Jesus scatters all its gloom.
Day of triumph through the skies;
See the glorious Savior rise.
2. Ye who are of death afraid
Triumph in the scattered shade.
Drive your anxious cares away;
See the place where Jesus lay.
3. Christians, dry your flowing tears
Chase your unbelieving fears;
Look on His deserted grave,
Doubt no more His power to save. Used With Tune: INNOCENTS Text Sources: Hymns Partly Collected and Partly Original, 1812
