Hallelujah! fairest morning!

Author: Jane L. Borthwick; Jonathan Krause Hymnal: BWHT1899 #40 (1899) Person Name: Jane L. Borthwick Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! fairest morning! Fairer than our words can say! Down we lay the heavy burden Of our toil and care today; While this morn of joy and love Brings fresh vigor from above. 2 Sunday, full of holy glory! Sweetest rest-day of the soul! Light upon a world of darkness From thy blessèd moments roll! Holy, happy, heavenly day, Thou canst charm our grief away. 3 In the gladness of God's worship We will seek our joy to-day: It is then we learn the fulness Of the grace for which we pray; When the word of life is given, Like the Saviour's voice from heaven. 4 Let the day with Thee be ended, As with Thee it has begun; And Thy blessing, Lord, be granted, Till earth's days and weeks are done; That at last Thy servants may Keep eternal Sabbath day.

The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up,up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen.
