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