All praise to Him who came to save,
Who conquer’d death and scorned the grave:
Each day new praise resoundeth
To Him, the Life who once was slain,
The Friend whom none shall trust in vain,
Whose grace for aye aboundeth;
Sing then, ring then, tell the story of His glory,
Till His praises
Flood with light earth’s darkest places.
