Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 "Who will roll away the stone? We are few and are alone," Say the women, sad and weak; "Who will give the help we seek?" 2 Thus in whispers low they talk, Sighing on their early walk, Of the work that has been done Ere the rising of the sun. 3 Who will climb into the sky, Bring redemption from on high? Who will light the dreary grave, And the dead and dying save? 4 All is done that thou wouldst do; All is finished, soul, for you; Life is born, and death is dead, Day is shining, night has fled.

Happy saint, he pays his vow, Son of God, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou! 3 Who is He in yonder cot, Bending to His toilsome lot. Veiled in flesh we know Thee now, Son of man, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou! 4 Sing we then with heart and voice, While the sons of men rejoice. While Heav’n’s glory crowns Thy brow, Son of God, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou! 5 Hail the Savior, praise Him then, Heav’n’s own richest gift to men, Son of God—of man, ’tis Thou We would ever praise as now.
