Hail, Thou Glorious Easter Morning

lyricist: Anonymous, 1897
Composer: Peter Schnecker

Hail

thou glo­ri­ous East­er morn­ing

Day of joy be­yond com­pare;

Angels hailed thy glo­ri­ous dawn­ing

Found the stone no long­er there.

Shout aloud

O earth and Heav­en

Angels join the glad re­frain

Christ for man Him­self has giv­en

Christ has died

but lives again.

Found the grave no long­er bound Him

Found death’s vic­to­ry was o’er;

Christ

new glo­ry shin­ing round Him

Reigns in Heav’n for­ev­er­more.

All ye na­tions now adore Him

Cast your of­fer­ing at His feet

Bring sweet flow­ers to­day be­fore Him

And glad hymns of joy re­peat.
