Hail, thou happy morn, so glorious!

Author: Anon. Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension; Joys of the Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou happy morn, so glorious! Come, ye saints, your griefs give o'er: Sing how Jesus rose victorious, By his own almighty power: Hallelujah! To the glorious Son of God. 2 Countless bands of angels glorious, Clothed in bright ethereal blue; Straight the sound of Christ victorious From their silver trumpets flew: Christ triumphant Rises, conqueror o'er the tomb. 3 Is that he who died on Calv'ry, Who was pierced with many a spear? Clad with countless suns of glory, See, he rises through the air: Hallelujah! Zion's mourner, now rejoice. 4 Tremble, ye who him rejected! Lo! he breaks through yonder cloud; Rise, ye saints, and shout, triumphant, Victory! through Jesus' blood: Hark! the trumpet Sounds the resurrection morn.

Life embraced, yet freely shed. 4 At the door we are commissioned, now the Easter victory's won, to restore a world divided to the peace of Christ as one. Alleluia! Alleluia!

My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart; I know that while in heaven he stands no tongue can bid me thence depart, no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see him there who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the Just is satisfied to look on him and pardon me, to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there! The risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness; the great unchangeable "I AM," the King of glory and of grace! One with himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased by his blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Savior and my God, with Christ, my Savior and my God.
