15238. Hail! Happy Morn

1 Hail happy morn, thrice happy we,
Who from our bondage are set free:
From Jesse’s line doth spring a ray,
Shall turn our darksome night to day.

Refrain:
Sweet hallelujah let us sing
To God, our Savior and our King.

2 Hark, a glad voice the sinner cheers,
Prepare the way, a God appears;
A God! a God! lost man to save
From hell, destruction, and the grave. [Refrain]

3 The Savior’s come, by prophets told,
The deaf do hear, the blind behold,
The dumb do speak, the dead are raised,
The lame do walk, and sing His praise. [Refrain]

4 Let no dark clouds obstruct the morn
Whereon the Lord of life was born,
Let mortals join to sing His fame,
And duly celebrate the same. [Refrain]
