Love's Redeeming Work Is Done

Verse 1

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!

Verse 2

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal! Christ has burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids him rise; Christ has opened paradise.

Verse 3

Lives again our victorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once, he all doth save; Where thy victory, O grave?

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to thee by both be given: Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the Resurrection thou!
