Flee Away, Ye Shades of Night!

Author: Jesse P. Tompkins Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1545 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Flee away, ye shades of night Lyrics: 1. Flee away, ye shades of night! Sweetly breaks the morning light; Never was there morn like this, Dawning of eternal bliss; As the light dispels the gloom, See! the Easter lilies bloom. Refrain Flee away, ye shades of night! Sweetly dawns the morning light. 2. Flee away, O dark despair, As I greet the morning fair; Like the Master I shall rise, Where the daylight never dies; At the portal of the tomb, See! the Easter lilies bloom. [Refrain] 3. Risen Lord and Savior dear, Let me feel Thee ever near. From Thine empty tomb there beams Risen hopes o’er faded dreams; E’en amidst the valley’s gloom, See! the Easter lilies bloom. [Refrain] 4. As the calyxes of gold, Rest within the lilies’ fold, Sweetly I may rest in Thee And o’er death cry Victory! Boasting grave, I read thy doom, In the Easter lilies’ bloom. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CRISPUS
