3. Thou, of life the Author, death didst undergo,
Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show.
Come, then, True and Faithful, now fulfill Thy word;
‘Tis Thine own third morning–rise, O buried Lord!
“Welcome, happy morning!” age to age shall say;
Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!”

4. Loose the souls long prisoned, 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!”
