Welcome Happy Morning

Hell today is vanquished, Heaven is won today.

Lo! the Christ is living, God for evermore!

narrow way

He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart,

You ask me how I know He lives,

He lives within my heartHe lives within my heart.

Loose the souls long imprisoned,

bound with Satan’s chain;

All that now is fallen raise to life again.

Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see,

Bring again our daylight, day returns with Thee.

Welcome, happy morning, age to age shall say;

Hell today is vanquished, Heaven is won today.

Up from the grave he arose !Up from the grave he arose !

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus, my Saviour;Low in the grave He lay, Jesus, my Saviour;Waiting the coming day, Jesus, my Lord.Waiting the coming day, Jesus, my Lord.

Up from the grave He arose,Up from the grave He arose,With a MIGHTY triumph o’er His foes.With a MIGHTY triumph o’er His foes.

He arose the victor from the dark domain,He arose the victor from the dark domain,And He lives forever with His saints to reign.And He lives forever with His saints to reign.

He arose!He arose!He arose!He arose!

Hallelujah!Hallelujah!Christ arose!Christ arose!
