2 Earth her joy confesses, clothing her for spring,
All fresh gifts returned with her returning King:
Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough,
Speak His sorrow ended, hail His triumph now.
Welcome, happy morning! etc.

3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light,
Hours and passing moments praise Thee in their flight;
Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea,
Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to Thee.
Welcome, happy morning! etc.

4 Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all;
Thou from heaven beholding human nature's fall,
Of the Father's Godhead true and only Son,
Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on.
Welcome, happy morning! etc.

5 Thou, of life the Author, death didst undergo,
Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show;
Come, then, True and Faithful, now fulfil Thy word,
'Tis Thine own third morning! rise, O buried Lord!
Welcome, happy morning! etc.

6 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain;
All that now is fallen raise to life again;

Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see;
Bring again our day-light: day returns with Thee!
Welcome, happy morning! etc. Amen.

He, Who on the Cross a victim, For the world's sal va- tion bled,

Je-sus Christ, the King of glo-ry, Now is risen from the dead. A- men.

2 Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life, and life immortal,

On this holy Easter morn:
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By His mighty enterprise,
We with Him to life eternal
By His resurrection rise.

3 Christ is risen, Christ, the first-fruits Of the holy harvest-field,

Which will all its full abundance
At His second coming yield:
Then the golden ears of harvest.
Will their heads before Him wave,
Ripened by His glorious sunshine

From the furrows of the grave.

4 Christ is risen, we are risen!
Shed upon us heavenly grace,
Rain and dew and gleams of glory
From the brightness of Thy face:
That, with hearts in heaven dwelling,
We on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel-hands be gathered,
And be ever, Lord, with Thee.

5 Alleluia! Alleluia!

Glory be to God on high; Alleluia to the Saviour

Who has won the victory; Alleluia to the Spirit,

Fount of love and sanctity;
Alleluia! Alleluia!

To the Triune Majesty. Amen.
