Shines Our Morning Star

Shines the bless­èd sun­light

East­er morn­ing breaks;

Unto life and glad­ness all the world awakes;

Now has come sal­va­tion

ev­er full and free

Christ our Lord has pur­chased bless­èd li­ber­ty.

Praise Him

from the grave!

Praise Him

strong to save!

Songs of glad­ness raise

Everlasting praise.

Carol forth His prais­es

twine your gar­lands gay;

See

the tomb of dark­ness gleams with Heav­en’s ray;

Tell the sweet­est mes­sage known to mor­tal men

Jesus

King and Sav­ior

lives and reigns again.

Glows the bless­èd sun­light in our hearts to­day

Rolling clouds of sor­row from our souls away;

Gleaming out with beau­ty thro’ the skies afar

Shines anew the ris­en Christ

our Morn­ing Star.
