All Hail! Happy Day

All hail! hap­py day

When en­robed in our clay

The Re­deem­er ap­peared up­on earth:

How can we re­frain

For to join the glad strain

And to hail our Im­ma­nu­el’s birth?

How bound­less that love

First be­got­ten ab­ove

And through Je­sus to sin­ners made known?

Lift

lift up the voice

And ex­ult­ing re­joice

For Je­ho­vah to earth is come down.

Ye an­gels of God

Sound His prais­es abroad

And ac­know­ledge Him Jah

the I Am:

We al­so will join

In a hymn so di­vine

Giving glo­ry to God and the Lamb.

To Christ we will sing

As our high priest and king

And our pro­phet to teach us the road:

But more than all this

For al­migh­ty He is

And we own Him our cru­ci­fied God!

To Je­sus’ praise

Let us spend all our days

For ’tis He our sure­ty has stood:

He so­journed be­low

That His mer­cy might flow

And He pur­chased our par­don with blood!

O may the re­turn

Of this once bless­èd morn

Be for ev­er re­mem­bered with joy

Sweet ac­cents of praise

All our voic­es shall raise

Hallelujahs shall be our em­ploy.

Let ec­ho pro­long

The har­mo­ni­ous song

Hallelujahs again and again:

He kin­dles the fire

Whom the na­tions de­sire;

And to Him we de­vote the glad strain.

Blest Je­sus

while we

Pay our trib­ute to Thee

Let us wor­ship

ad­mire

and ad­ore

Accept as Thy crown

What be­fore was Thy own

Hallelujahs and praise ev­er­more.
