1 Hail happy morn, thrice happy we,
Who from our bondage are set free:
From Jesse’s line doth spring a ray,
Shall turn our darksome night to day.

Refrain:
Sweet hallelujah let us sing
To God, our Savior and our King.

2 Hark, a glad voice the sinner cheers,
Prepare the way, a God appears;
A God! a God! lost man to save
From hell, destruction, and the grave. [Refrain]

3 The Savior’s come, by prophets told,
The deaf do hear, the blind behold,
The dumb do speak, the dead are raised,
The lame do walk, and sing His praise. [Refrain]

4 Let no dark clouds obstruct the morn
Whereon the Lord of life was born,
Let mortals join to sing His fame,
And duly celebrate the same. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
