Hail the Blessèd Easter Morning

Hail the bless­èd East­er morn­ing!

Hail the re­sur­rect­ion day!

Let the ca­vern ring with an­thems

Where the bless­èd Sav­ior lay.

Shout His prais­es

saints in glo­ry;

Saints be­low

His prais­es sing!

Men and an­gels

bow be­fore Him

Christ

the ev­er­last­ing King!

Hail the long-ex­pect­ed tri­umph!

Hail the vic­to­ry o’er the grave!

Let the tra­vail-bound cre­ation

Sing His migh­ty pow­er to save.

Vain the stone

the seal

the war­den

Vain the hate of earth and hell;

Lord of Life! His foes be­neath Him

His tri­um­phal chor­us swell.
