Hail, Easter Day!

Hail

East­er Day! glad with His love

Bringing bright vi­sions of Heav­en ab­ove;

Sad hearts re­joice: Why do you weep?

Jesus our Sav­ior is on­ly asleep.

For us He suf­fered

the sin­less and pure

Glad for our sakes bit­ter pain to en­dure.

Hail

East­er Day! forth from the grave

Rose the dear Je­sus

a lost world to save.

Hail

East­er Day! beau­ti­ful

bright

Breaking in glo­ry through earth’s drea­ry night;

Bells of the morn ring clear and strong

Turning our si­lence to ju­bi­lant song.

Waken from slum­ber! O

crown Him the King!

From the dark tomb peace and life doth He bring.

Hail

East­er Day! in­cense most sweet

Gladly His child­ren lay down at His feet.

Hail

East­er Day! Vic­tor is He

Broken the pow­er of death now shall be;

Angels of light

joy­ful pro­claim

Glory and hon­or and praise to His name.

Jesus has ris­en

He reigns ev­er­more;

Happy and free

our blest Lord we adore.

Hail

East­er Day! life’s wel­come spring

Jesus

the migh­ty

our Je­sus is King!
