Poem Words (four verses)

"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say;
"Hell today is vanquished, heav’n is won today!"
Christ, once dead, is living, God forevermore!
Him, their true creator, all his works adore!
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
"Hell today is vanquished, heav’n is won today!"

Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all,
God from heav'n beholding human nature’s fall,
You, the true and only Son of God above,
Died as mortal man to save us by your love.
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
God from heav'n beholding human nature’s fall,

3.
Source of all things living, you came down to die,
Plumbed the depths of hell to raise us upon high.
Come then, true and faithful; come, fulfill your word;
This is your third morning: Rise, O buried Lord!

Plumbed the depths of hell to raise us upon high.
Come then, true and faithful; come, fulfill your word;
This is your third morning: Rise, O buried Lord!

4.
Free the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan’s chain;
All that once had fallen raise to life again;
Show your face in brightness, shine in every land
As in Eden's garden when the world began.
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
All that once had fallen raise to life again;
Show your face in brightness, shine in every land
As in Eden's garden when the world began.
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
