1 The Sun of Righteousness appears,
To set in blood no more:
Adore the scatt'rer of your fears,
Your rising God adore.

2 The saints, when he resign'd his breath,
Unclos'd their sleeping eyes:
He breaks again the bands of death;
Again the dead arise!

3 Alone the dreadful race he ran,
Alone the wine press trod:
He di'd and suffer'd as a man,
He rises as a God.

4 In vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Forbid an early rise
To Him who breaks the gates of hell,
And opens paradise.
