Low in the grave they had buried Christ the Savior; Dark was the night round the silent guarded tomb, But with the dawn came a glow of heav'nly splendor Glory filled the earth dispelling gloom. Refrain Wake, sweetest strains of music! Telling out the story How from death the Savior rose To live forevermore. Wake, sweetest strains of music! Drive away all sadness Let your anthems ring from shore to shore. Close to the tomb were the soldiers vigil keeping, When from above came a form of dazzling light, Then He arose from the grave a mighty Victor Angels welcomed Him in robes of white. Refrain Joy to the world, let this day be filled with gladness? Wake sweetest strains join this happy Easter song, Peace shall abide for the grave has lost its terror Christ is risen?let His praise prolong. Refrain
