The Day Hath Dawned—The Day of Days

The day hath dawned—the day of days

Transcending all our joy and praise:

This day our Lord tri­umph­ant rose;

This day He cap­tive led our foes.

The ser­pent’s craft

sin

death and hell

This day be­fore the Con­quer­or fell:

All suf­fer­ing

sor­row

ill

the name

Of Je­sus ris­en this day o’er­came.

The sun

the earth

all things ad­ore

As at His death they mourned be­fore:

All own with joy up­on this day

The foe’s do­min­ion passed away.

Then

as is meet

we now will sing

Glad hal­le­lu­jahs to our king:

To Thee

Lord

doth our praise per­tain

Who for our joy art ris­en again.
