Hail, Thou! that on this glorious morn didst burst The bands of death! all hail, incarnate Lord! First-born of heaven, what time the barren grave With wondrous throes gave forth Thy present flesh, In all its incorruptible array Of majesty and light. Triumphant Lord, Who, in Thy rising power, didst captive lead Captivity, and at Thy chariot wheels The vanquished hosts of hell didst with Thee bring! Hail, conquering King! Almighty Prince of Life! First-fruits of those that sleep, in hope assured Of that bright morning, when the trumpet’s sound Shall wake the slumbering dead, when from the tomb Thy quickened saints shall spring to swell Thy strain, Clad in immortal bloom. Thy angel bands Attend Thee up the skies with cheerful notes; We, too, responsive cry “Our God is gone, Is upward gone.”
