"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say

Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say: Hell to-day is vanquish'd; Heav'n is won today; Lo! the Dead is living, God forevermore! Him their true Creator, all His works adore! "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. 2 Earth with joy confesses, clothing her for Spring, All good gifts returned with her returning King: Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough, Speak His sorrows ended, hail His triumph now. Hell to-day is vanquished; Heaven is won to-day. 3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light, Hours and passing moments praise Thee in their flight; Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea, Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to Thee. "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. 4 Maker and Redeemer, Life and Health to all, Thou from Heaven beholding human nature's fall, Of the Father's Godhead true and only Son, Man to deliver, manhood didst put on. Hell to-day is vanquished: Heaven is won today! 5 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! "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. 6 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; All that now is fallen raise to life again; Show Thy Face in brightness, bid the nations see; Bring again our day-light; day returns with Thee! Hell to-day is vanquished; Heaven is won to-day. Amen. Used With Tune: WELCOME, HAPPY MORNING

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,083 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.
