1 Again the Lord of light and life Awakes the kindling ray,
Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day.
2 O what a night was that which wrapt The heathen world in gloom!
O what a Sun which rose this day Triumphant from the tomb!
3 This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart, And praise on ev'ry tongue.
4 Ten thousand diff'rent lips shall join To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatters blessings from its wings To nations yet unborn.
