Hail! Ever Hail



Hail! ever hail! auspicious morn
The brightest since our fall
Mortals, exult! the Saviour's born
O crown him Lord of all!

Down from celestial climes of day
He hastes to tread our ball
Glory illumines all the way
O crown him Lord of all!

Hark! loud hosannahs from the song
The melting airs inthrall
A Saviour angels waft along
And shout him Lord of all

Wrapt in their folded vests of light
They seek the sordid stall
Gaze with emotions of delight
And own him Lord of all

Shepherds, to you a herald flies
Obey the early call
Immanuel in a manger lies
Go crown him Lord of all

He comes, he comes, our world to bless
To ransom every soul
From shades of endless wretchedness
O crown him Lord of all!

The sceptre, robe, and throne prepare
Attend, ye great and small
With acclamations rend the air
And crown him Lord of all

As It Fell Out One May Morning
