THE HAPPY MORN IS COME
"When You ascended on high, You led captives in your train." Psalms
68:18
Words: Thomas Haweis, Carmina Christo, 1792.
Music: "Darwall's 148th," John Darwall, 1770.
The happy morn is come!
Triumphant o'er the grave,
The Lord hath left the tomb
Omnipotent to save.
Refrain
Captivity is captive led;
For Jesus liveth that was dead.
Who now accuseth them
For whom their Surety died?
Who now shall those condemn
Whom God hath justified?
Refrain
Christ hath the ransom paid;
The glorious work is done;
Oh Him our help is laid;
By Him our victory won.
Refrain
Hail, the triumphant Lord!
Thy resurrection Thou!
We bless Thy sacred Word;
Before Thy throne we blow.
