Thou Hallowed Chosen Morn of Praise

lyricist: John of Damascus, 8th Century
Composer: Johann Schein, 1628

Thou hal­lowed chos­en morn of praise

That best and great­est shin­est;

Fair East­er

queen of all the days

Of sea­sons

best

di­vin­est!

Christ rose from death; and we ad­ore

Forever and for­ev­er­more.

Come

let us taste the vine’s new fruit

For heav’nly joy pre­par­ing;

Today the branch­es with the root

In re­sur­rect­ion shar­ing:

Whom as true God our hymns ad­ore

Forever and for­ev­er­more.

Rise

Zi­on

rise! and look­ing forth

Behold thy child­ren round thee!

From east and west

from south and north

Thy scat­tered sons have found thee;

And in thy bosom Christ ad­ore

Forever and for ev­er­more.

O Fa­ther

O co-equal Son

O co-eter­nal Spir­it

In pers­ons Three

in God­head One

And One in pow­er and merit;

In Thee bap­tized

we Thee ad­ore

Forever and for ev­er­more.
