Age to age shall say:
"Hell today is vanquished, 
Heav’n is won today!"
Lo, the Dead is living, 
God forevermore!
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,
Mankind 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 fulfill Thy word;
’Tis Thine own third morning--
Rise, O buried Lord. [Refrain]
4 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 daylight: 
Day returns with Thee. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Scripture: Acts 10:40 Languages: English Tune Title: SEI DU MIR GEGRÜSSET
