Glory to God! The morn
appointed breaks,
And earth awakes
from all the woeful past;
For, with the morn,
the Lord of life awakes,
And sin and death
into the grave are cast.
Glory to God! The cross,
with all its shame,
Now sheds its glory
o’er a ransomed world;
For He Who bore
the burden of our blame,
With piercèd hands the foe
to hell hath hurled.
Glory to God! Sing,
ransomed souls again,
And let your songs
our glorious Victor laud,
Who by His might hath
snapped the tyrant’s chain,
And set us free
to rise with Him to God.
Darkness and night, farewell!
The morn is here;
Welcome! the light
that ushers in the day;
Visions of joy before
our sight appear,
And, like the clouds,
our sorrows melt away.
Great Son of God,
immortal and renowned!
Brighter than morn
the glory on Thy brow;
Crowns must be won,
and Thou are nobly crowned,
For death is dead,
and sin is vanquished now.
