1 "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,
Tread 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.
