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.

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

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

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.
