Hymnal: Laudes Domini #431 (1884) First Line: Welcome, happy morning! Refrain First Line: Welcome, happy morning! Lyrics: 1 Welcome, happy morning!
Age to age shall say;
Hell to-day is vanquished,
Heaven is won to-day!
Lo! the dead is living,
Lord for evermore!
Him, their true Creator,
All his works adore!
Refrain:
Welcome, happy morning!
Age to age shall say;
Hell to-day is vanquished,
Heaven is won to-day!
Lo! the dead is living,
Lord for evermore!
Him, their true Creator,
All his works adore!
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 sorrow ended,
Hail his triumph now. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
4 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,
Manhood to deliver,
Manhood didst put on. [Refrain]
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, my buried Lord! [Refrain]
6 Loose the hearts 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]
