¶Lyrics / Text

1. Again the Lord of life and light Awakes the kindling ray; Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day. 2. O what a night was that, which wrapped The heathen world in gloom! O what a sun which broke this day, Triumphant from the tomb! 3. This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in every heart, And praise on every tongue. 4. Ten thousand differing lips shall join To hail this welcome morn; Which scatters blessings from its wings, To nations yet unborn.
