HYMN

For Eafter-Sunday.

AGAIN the Lord of life and light

Awakes the kindling ray;

Unfeals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increafing day.

O what a night was that which wrapt
The heathen world in gloom!

O what a fun which broke this day,
Triumphant from the tomb!

This

This day be grateful homage paid,
And loud hofannas fung;

Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart,
And praise on ev'ry tongue.

Ten thousand diff'ring lips fhall join
To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatters bleffings from its wings
To nations yet unborn.

Jefus, the friend of human kind,
With strong compaffion mov'd,
Defcended like a pitying God,
To fave the fouls he lov'd.

The pow'rs of darkness leagu'd in vain
To bind his foul in death;

He shook their kingdom when he fell,
With his expiring breath.

Not long the toils of hell could keep
The hope of Judah's line;
Corruption never could take hold

On aught fo much divine.

And now his conqu'ring chariot wheels

Afcend the lofty skies;

While broke, beneath his pow'rful cross,

Death's iron fceptre lies.

Exalted
