LyicsHAIL! morning known among the blest!
Morning of hope, and joy, and love,
Of heavenly peace and holy rest;
Pledge of the endless rest above!
Bless'd be the Father of our Lord,
Who from the dead has brought his Son!
Hope to the lost was then restor'd,
And everlasting glory won.
Scarce morning twilight had begun
To chase the shades of night away,
When Christ arose-unsetting Sun
The dawn of joy's eternal day!
Mercy look'd down with smiling eye,
When our Immanuel left the dead;
Faith mark'd his bright ascent on high,
And hope with gladness rais'd her head.
God's goodness let us bear in mind,
Who to his saints this day has giv'n,
For rest and serious joy design'd,
To fit us for the bliss of heav'n.
