1 ""Welcome, happy morning!"" age to age shall say,
Hell to-day is vanquished, heaven is won to-day!
Lo! the dead is living, God, forevermore!
Him, their true Creator, all His works adore!
""Welcome, happy morning!"" age to age shall say.
2 Maker and Redeemer, life and health to all,
Thou from heaven beholding human nature's fall,
Of the eternal Father true and only Son,
Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on.
Hell to-day is vanquished, heaven is won to-day.
5 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!
""Welcome, happy morning!"" age to age shall say.
