Servants of God, awake to hail this sacred day, and in glad songs of praise your grateful homage pay; come, bless the day that God hath blessed, the type of heaven's eternal rest. Upon this happy morn the Lord of life arose; he burst the bonds of death, and vanquished all our foes; and now he pleads our cause above, and reaps the fruit of all his love. All hail, triumphant Lord! Heaven with hosanna rings, and earth in humbler strains thy praise responsive sings; worthy the Lamb, that once was slain, through endless years to live and reign!
