Glad Easter Morn

Welcome

sweet dawning of the morn

That saw our Sav­ior rise;

Welcome the glo­ri­ous

sac­red light

That burst yon east­ern skies.

Serene and calm at ear­ly dawn

While na­ture breathed re­pose

Ere Ma­ry sought that lone­ly tomb

Our dear Re­deem­er rose.

He rose

He rose

He rose!

Triumphant ov­er His foes!

We’ll join with angels in their song

Loud hal­le­lu­jahs sing;

Come one and all

His praise pro­long

Till Heav’n with ech­oes ring.

We mag­ni­fy a ris­en Lord

Though once for sin­ners slain;

He bore our sor­rows and our cares

Yet lives in Heav­en again.

Sing vic­to­ry

vic­to­ry ov­er death

Our worst and lat­est foe;

Our lov­ing Sav­ior broke the bars

That He His pow­er might show.

List! ye re­deemed ones

hear the words

And cease

ye weep­ing eyes;

First

on the re­sur­rect­ion morn

The dead in Christ shall rise.
