A contemplative and energetic Easter piece for unison choir and piano by Mark Knickelbein. This new text by Lisa M. Clark marks the journey of the women at the tomb on Easter morning; as the dawn brightens, they go out to share the news and joy of Easter. Plan this quickly learned and accessible piece for any choir especially for Easter Sunrise or Vigil, or throughout the Easter season.
With darkened hearts, through gloomy haze,
They faced the morning's growing rays:
Their Master's body to adorn,
Not knowing this was Easter morn.
Refrain: The Son of God has conquered night
And reigns in everlasting light!
The sun began to rise that day;
The angel, clad in bright array,
Was witness to the glorious sight—
The Savior has made all things right. (Refrain)
The wondrous news now quickly share
To ev'ry land, to ev'rywhere;
Be shining lights for all to see,
Attesting to His majesty! (Refrain)
