He Is Risen (Latta)

lyricist: Eden Latta, 1879
Composer: Alonzo Abbey

In the dim and early morn­ing

As the day begins to dawn

To the se­pul­cher ap­proach­ing

Loving hearts are draw­ing on.

He is ris­en as He said;

He is ris­en from the dead;

He is ris­en as He said

Risen

ris­en from the dead.

They are seek­ing for the Sav­ior

In the damp­ness and the gloom;

But He slum­bers there no long­er;

They ap­proach an emp­ty tomb.

Oh

how sad­ly do they quest­ion

As in sor­row on they stray!

But be­hold the shin­ing an­gel

He has rolled the rock away!

Weep no more

ye sad dis­ci­ples

Your Re­deem­er ye shall see;

He is ris­en as He pro­mised;

Seek for Him in Ga­li­lee.
