209. The Joyous Morning

1 Early dawn! early dawn!
Ushering in a brighter morn;
While the angels stand and wonder,
Jesus breaks the bonds asunder;
Weeping hearts no longer mourn.

2 Morning bright! morning bright!
With its flood of golden light;
Jesus lives, O wondrous story,
Lives the King of life and glory,
He has risen in His might.

3 Morning light! morning light!
Scatter far the shades of night;
Mary’s heart, so full of sadness,
Now is filled with joy and gladness,
Jesus thrilled her with delight.

4 Morning joy! morning joy!
It shall be my blest employ;
Telling of the sweet surprising
Of the loved ones at His rising,
Filling all their hearts with joy.
