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!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal!
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids him rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
Lives again our glorious King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
Soar we now where Christ has led,
following out exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise,
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou!
What wonderful words by Charles Wesley. Despite the lack of alleluias, this is one of my favourite Easter hymns! Who can imagine the joy of Mary when she first met her risen Son? Our joy each Easter Sunday must be but a tiny reflection of her bliss!
Tomorrow, we shall focus on John the Baptist.
