Grand is the song of the Easter morn

Grand is the song of the Easter morn,
Victory is won! victory is won!
Far o'er the hills with the light ‘tis borne,
Victory is won through Christ!
Chasing the shades of night away,
Bringing the light of glorious day,

Grand was the scene when the stone was rolled,
Off from the sepulchre dark and cold:
Angels alone could view that sight;
Man could not bear that vision bright;
Forth came the Conqueror armed with might,
Victory is won through Christ!

Grand was the word that the women brought,
Mingled with wonders, with glories fraught:
“Seek not the living," the angels said,
“Seek not the living among the dead”;
Sorrow is past and night is fled,
Victory is won through Christ!

Grand is this truth, O saints, for you,
Yours is the joy and the blessing too,
Since Jesus took from Death bis key,
He from the tomb will set us free;
And through all time and eternity,
Victory is won through Christ!
