290. Come, let us hail the rising morn

1 Come, let us hail the rising morn
And tune our happy voices,
Our blessed Saviour rose to-day.
And all the earth rejoices

Chorus:
He died to save our souls from death,
We shout the wond'rous story.
We love to meet where Christians pray,
And sing of homes in glory.

2 'Tis God who gave us life and health,
Our friends and every blessing.
How grateful then our hearts should be,
So many joys possessing. [Chorus]

3 But most we prize his holy word,
Our best and purest treasure.
The lamp that lights our wand'ring feet
To wisdom, truth, and pleasure. [Chorus]

4 Then let us hail the rising morn,
And tune our happy voices;
Our blessed Saviour rose to-day,
And all the earth rejoices. [Chorus]
