| Hymn A & M 608- WELCOME, morning of joy, glad |
1. WELCOME, morning of joy, glad
feast that all ages shall hallow.
Day wherein, vanquishing hell, God
To high heaven ascends.
(Repeat)
2. Calm is the breath of the spring
that wakens the glory of blossom,
Brighter the sunlight that streams
forth from the gates of the sky.
Welcome, etc.
3. Christ hath trod under his feet the
kingdom of torment and sadness;
Decked is the woodland with leaves,
earth was her flowers at his feet.
Welcome. etc.
4. Trampling the powers of hell he
mounts on his journey to heaven:
Heaven's light halls him as God:
field, sky and sea tell his praise.
Welcome, etc.
5. Strike off the fetters that bind the
spirits that hell hath imprisoned,
Call back and lift to the light souls
rushing down to the pit.
Welcome, etc.
6. Out of the prson of death thou art
rescuing souls without number:
Freely they press to the goal whither
their Maker leads on.
Welcome, etc.
7. Now may’st thou nurse in thine
arms a people that knows no
defilement.
Bear them aloft to be given for a,
pure hostage to God.
Welcome, etc.
8. Two are the crowns that for thee
thc Father hath laid up in heaven:
One shalt thou wear for thine own,
one for a people redeemed.
Welcome, etc
9. Jesu, thou Saviour of all, Creator
of men and Redeemer,
Only-begotten of God, sprung from
the Deity's fount:
Welcome. etc.
10. Equal, co-eval art thou, and in
fellowship one with the Father:
Thine was the word of command
when all creation began.
Welcome, etc.
11. Thou too, beholding in love the
depth of humanity's ruin,
Man to deliver from death, Man
didst vouchsafe to become.
Welcome, etc.
