A sacred hymn with text by Kathryn W. Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: Easter Dawn

In the stillness of a spring morn’

Just as the new dawn was born,

The seals of a tomb were broke,

And our Lord Jesus from death awoke.

Yea, our dear Savior was the first

The ugly bands of death to burst.

His resurrection opened heaven’s door

That the grave will hold us nevermore.

The sting of death is forever gone,

Because of Christ’s gift that special dawn,

Unto Him our grateful voices raise
