Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #209 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Love's redeeming work is done;
fought the fight, the battle won:
lo, our Sun's eclipse is o'er,
lo, he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
3 Lives again our glorious King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection Thou! Topics: Church Year Easter; Easter; Jesus Names and images for; Other Saints and Festivals Mary Magdalene; The Fifth Sunday of Easter Year A; The Second Sunday of Easter Year C; Victory Scripture: Matthew 27:62-65 Languages: English Tune Title: SAVANNAH
