Grammar:

• Till from heaven You came running

  ➔ Inversion (for emphasis)

  ➔ Normally, the sentence would be "You came running from heaven." Inverting the phrase "from heaven" to the beginning puts emphasis on the origin of Jesus' arrival. The use of "till" suggests "until" or "up to the point that".

• To fulfil the law and prophets

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "to fulfil" explains the reason for Jesus' coming to Earth. It indicates purpose.

• And the morning that You rose

  ➔ Relative clause with "that"

  ➔ "That You rose" is a relative clause modifying "the morning". "That" functions as the relative pronoun, connecting the clause to the noun.

• Till that stone was moved for good

  ➔ Passive voice

  ➔ The passive voice construction emphasizes the action being done to the stone rather than who did it. The form is "was + past participle (moved)".

• For the Lamb had conquered death

  ➔ Past perfect tense

  ➔ The past perfect tense (had + conquered) indicates that the action of conquering death happened before another point in the past (the moving of the stone). It emphasizes the completion of the action before another past event.

• Shall not kneel shall not faint

  ➔ Use of "shall" for emphasis and determination

  ➔ While "shall" is often used to form the future tense (especially with "I" and "we" in older English), here it expresses a strong sense of determination. The Church *will not* kneel or faint, showing unwavering faith.

• Who has resurrected me

  ➔ Present perfect tense

  ➔ The present perfect tense (has + resurrected) connects a past action (resurrecting) to the present. It indicates that the resurrection has relevance or an effect on the speaker's current state.
