| Text: | Joy Of Easter Day |

1 Dark the night of hopeless gloom,
When the Lord lay in the tomb;
He threw off death’s mighty sway,
Oh, the joy of Easter day.
Refrain:
Joy, glad joy as morning broke,
Joy, glad joy that the angels spoke;
Joy, glad joy when the Christ awoke,
Joy of Easter day.
2 Jesus conquered in the strife,
Rose from death to endless life;
Death’s dread power He crushed for aye,
Oh, the joy of Easter day. [Refrain]
3 From the empty tomb there streams
Sunrise glory, whose bright beams
Chase the shades of night away,
Oh, the joy of Easter day. [Refrain]
