Lyics

AGAIN the lord of life and light

Awakes the kindling ray;

Unseals the eyelids of the morn,

And pours increasing day.



O, What a night was that which

Wrapt									

The heathen world in gloom!

O, what a sun which rose this day,

Triumphant from the tomb!



This day be grateful homage

And loud hosannas sung; [paid,

Let gladness dwell in every heart,

And praise on every tongue.



Ten thousand different lips shall 

To hail this welcome morn, [join

Which scatters blessings from its 

To nations yet unborn. [wings
