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 forevermore!
    Him, their true Creator,
    all his works adore.
    “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.
    “Welcome, happy morning!”
    age to age shall say:
    hell today is vanquished,
    heav’n is won today.
  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.
    “Welcome, happy morning!”
    age to age shall say:
    hell today is vanquished,
    heav’n is won today.
  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.
    “Welcome, happy morning!”
    age to age shall say:
    hell today is vanquished,
    heav’n is won today.
