Hail happy morn, thrice happy we,
Hail happy morn, thrice happy we,
Who from our bondage are set free:
Who from our bondage are set free:
From Jesse’s line doth spring a ray,
From Jesse’s line doth spring a ray,
Shall turn our darksome night to day.
Shall turn our darksome night to day.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
''Sweet Hallelujah let us sing''
To God, our Saviour and our King.
''To God, our Saviour and our King.''


Hark, a glad voice the sinner cheers,
Hark, a glad voice the sinner cheers,
Prepare the way, a God appears;
Prepare the way, a God appears;
A God! a God! lost man to save
A God! a God! lost man to save
From hell, destruction, and the grave.  
From hell, destruction, and the grave.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
''Sweet Hallelujah let us sing''
To God, our Saviour and our King.
''To God, our Saviour and our King.''


The Saviour’s come, by prophets told,
The Saviour’s come, by prophets told,
The deaf do hear, the blind behold,
The deaf do hear, the blind behold,
The dumb do speak, the dead are rais’d,
The dumb do speak, the dead are rais’d,
The lame do walk, and sing his praise.  
The lame do walk, and sing his praise.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
''Sweet Hallelujah let us sing''
To God, our Saviour and our King.
''To God, our Saviour and our King.''


Let no dark clouds obstruct the morn
Let no dark clouds obstruct the morn
Whereon the Lord of life was born,
Whereon the Lord of life was born,
Let mortals join to sing his fame,
Let mortals join to sing his fame,
And duly celebrate the same.  
And duly celebrate the same.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
''Sweet Hallelujah let us sing''
To God, our Saviour and our King.
''To God, our Saviour and our King.''}}

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.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
To God, our Saviour and our King.

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.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
To God, our Saviour and our King.

The Saviour’s come, by prophets told,
The deaf do hear, the blind behold,
The dumb do speak, the dead are rais’d,
The lame do walk, and sing his praise.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
To God, our Saviour and our King.

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.
Sweet Hallelujah let us sing
To God, our Saviour and our King.
