Lyrics

Beautiful re­sur­rect­ion morn,
Dawn of a glo­ri­ous day;
Beautiful hope now springs to birth,
Death and the grave give way.

Refrain

Beautiful, beau­ti­ful morn,
Beautiful, beau­ti­ful morn!
Angels are tell­ing how Je­sus arose
On this beau­ti­ful morn.

Beautiful morn that broke on earth,
After the gloom of night;
Beautiful an­gels at the tomb
Tell how He rose in might.

Refrain

Beautiful morn, when we shall see
Jesus des­cend the sky,
Coming for us in bliss to reign
With the re­deemed on high.
