"Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say: Hell to-day is vanquish’d, heaven is won to-day. Lo! the dead is living, God for evermore! Him their true Creator all His works adore! "Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say: Hell to-day is vanquish’d, heaven is won to-day.
Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, Thou from heaven beholding human nature's fall, Of the Father's Godhead true and only Son, Mankind to deliver, manhood didst put on. "Welcome, happy morning," &c.
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," &c.
Loose the souls long prison’d, 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! "Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say: Hell to-day is vanquish’d, heaven is won to-day. Amin.
