199. "Welcome, happy morning!"

1 "Welcome, happy morning!"
Age to age shall say:
Hell today is vanquished;
Heav'n 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,
Heav'n is won today.

2 Maker and Redeemer,
Life and health of all,
Thou, from heav'n beholding
Human nature's fall,
Of the Father's Godhead
True and only Son,
Manhood to deliver,
Manhood didst put on. [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 fulfil thy word,
'Tis thine own third morning;
Rise, O buried Lord. [Refrain]

4 Loose the souls long-prisoned,
Bound with Satan's chain;
Thine that now are fallen
Raise to life again;
Show thy face in brightness,
Bid the nations see;
Bring again our daylight;
Day returns with thee. [Refrain]
