The Happy Morn Is Come

lyricist: Thomas Haweis, 1792
Composer: John Darwall, 1770

The hap­py morn is come!

The Sav­ior leaves the grave

His glo­ri­ous work is done

Almighty now to save.

Captivity is cap­tive led;

For Je­sus liv­eth that was dead.

Who to our charge shall lay

Iniquity and guilt?

All sin is done away

Since His rich blood was split.

Now the un­god­ly dares

The ho­ly God draw near;

Justice it­self de­clares

No cause re­mains for fear.

Christ hath the ran­som paid;

The glo­ri­ous work is done;

Oh Him our help is laid;

By Him our vic­to­ry won.

Hail

the tri­umph­ant Lord!

Thy re­sur­rect­ion Thou!

We bless Thy sac­red Word;

Before Thy throne we bow.
