Author: Geo. O. Webster Hymnal: Hymns for Today #110 (1920) Refrain First Line: Day is breaking! greet the morning with a song Lyrics: 1 Shout aloud your hallelujahs, Jesus lives; From the grave he comes in triumph, Life He gives; Death at last has met a victor, Lost its sting; Greet the Lord of life triumphant, Hail the King. Chorus: Day is breaking! Greet the morning with a song; Hope is waking, speed the joyful news along; Jesus lives, and death can triumph nevermore; Jesus lives, and life He gives forevermore, forevermore. 2 Hail the day of life and glory When He rose; When he lift the grave a victor O’er His foes. Shout, O shout your hallelujahs, Greet the morn; Death has fallen, king of terrors, Hope is born. [Chorus] 3 Hail the day and hail the Victor In the strife; Crown, O crown the great Redeemer, Prince of life. He has made a shining pathway Thru the night; Lo, eternal morn is breaking, Fadeless, bright. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS LIVES
