INNOCENTS-French melody, 13th century

Morning Breaks Upon the Tomb
}
Morning breaks upon the tomb,
Jesus scatters all its gloom;
Day of triumph through the skies,
See the glorious Saviour rise!

Ye, who are of death afraid
Triumph in scattered shade;
Drive your anxious cares away;
See the glorious Saviour rise!
2 Ye, who are of death afraid
Triumph in the scattered shade;
Drive your anxious cares away;
See the place where Jesus lay!

Christian! dry your flowing tears,
Chase your unbelieving fears;
Look on his deserted grave;
Doubt no more his power to save.
