Oh, the Golden, Glowing Morning

Oh

the gold­en

glow­ing morn­ing

All the wait­ing earth ad­orn­ing

For this East­er Day!

To the King in all His splen­dor

Lord of life and death we ren­der

Highest lauds this day.

Let the ban­ners float be­fore us

While we raise th’ex­ult­ing chor­us

Christ is ris­en! He is ris­en!

This is East­er Day!

Hark! the high­est heav­ens ring­ing

Hark! the quiv’r­ing an­gels sing­ing

This is East­er Day!

No more griev­ing! no more sigh­ing!

No more weep­ing! no more dy­ing!

Christ is king this day!

With the bless­èd ones be­fore us

We will swell the heav’n­ly chor­us—

Christ is ris­en! He is ris­en!

This is East­er Day!

Shout aloud the won­drous sto­ry

For the King in all His glo­ry

Draweth nigh this day!

Vernal be­ne­dict­ion giv­ing—

Christ the Life—the Ev­er-liv­ing!

On this East­er Day!

Let the ban­ners float be­fore us

Send along the an­gel chor­us—

Christ is ris­en! He is ris­en!

This is East­er Day!

On the fest­al al­tar glow­ing

Lo! the pas­chal em­blems—show­ing

Forth this East­er Day!

Come with gar­lands

come with trea­sure

Come with an­thems’ rapt­est mea­sure

For this East­er Day!

How the bells are chim­ing o’er us

While we join the heav’n­ly chor­us!

Christ is ris­en! He is ris­en!

This is Easter Day!

Oh

that longed-for day of un­ion

When Thine own

in Thy com­mun­ion

Lord of East­er Day—

Into life eter­nal wak­ing

Celebrate—Thy love par­tak­ing—

Endless East­er Day!

For the joy that waits be­fore us

We will swell the an­gel chor­us

Christ is ris­en! He is ris­en!

This is East­er Day!
