Thou hal­lowed chos­en morn of praise,
That best and great­est shin­est;
Fair East­er, queen of all the days,
Of sea­sons, best, di­vin­est!
Christ rose from death; and we ad­ore
Forever and for­ev­er­more.

Come, let us taste the vine’s new fruit,
For heav’nly joy pre­par­ing;
Today the branch­es with the root
In re­sur­rect­ion shar­ing:
Whom as true God our hymns ad­ore
Forever and for­ev­er­more.

Rise, Zi­on, rise! and look­ing forth,
Behold thy child­ren round thee!
From east and west, from south and north,
Thy scat­tered sons have found thee;
And in thy bosom Christ adore
Forever and for ev­er­more.

O Fa­ther, O co-equal Son,
O co-eter­nal Spir­it,
In pers­ons Three, in God­head One,
And One in pow­er and merit;
In Thee bap­tized, we Thee ad­ore
Forever and for ev­er­more.
