133. Welcome, Happy Morning!

"Welcome, happy morning! age to age shall say;
Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!
Lo! the Dead is living, God for evermore!
Him, their true Creator, all His works adore.

Refrain:
Welcome, happy morning! age to age shall say;
Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!

2 Earth her joy confesses, clothing her for spring,
All good gifts returned with her returning King:
Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough,
Speak His sorrow ended, hail His triumph now. [Refrain]

3 Thou, of life the author, death didst undergo,
Trod the path of darkness, saving strength to show;
Come then, True and Faithful, now fulfill Thy word;
'Tis Thine own third morning: rise, O buried Lord! [Refrain]

Amen.
