WELCOME HAPPY MORNING!

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/w/e/l/welcomeh.htm

“Welcome, happy morning!” age to age shall say:“Hell today is vanquished, Heav’n is won today!”Lo! the dead is living, God forevermore!Him, their true Creator, all His works adore!
Refrain
“Welcome, happy morning!”Age to age shall say.
Earth her joy confesses, clothing her for spring,All fresh gifts returned with her returning King:Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough,Speak His sorrow ended, hail His triumph now.
Refrain
Months in due succession, days of lengthening light,Hours and passing moments praise Thee in their flight.Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea,Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to Thee.
Refrain
Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all,Thou from heaven beholding human nature’s fall,Of the Father’s Godhead true and only Son,Mankind to deliver, manhood didst put on.
Refrain
Thou, of life the Author, death didst undergo,Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show;Come, then True and Faithful, now fulfill Thy Word;’Tis Thine own third morning; rise, O buried Lord!
Refrain
Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan’s chain;All that now is fallen raise to life again;Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see;Bring again our daylight: day returns with Thee!

Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia! Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

OH SACRED HEAD NOW WOUNDED

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/o/s/osacredh.htm

O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine!Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine.

What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was all for sinners’ gain;Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place;Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest friend,For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be,Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee.

Happy Easter Everyone!
