O hail, happy day, that speaks our trials ended

O hail, happy day, that speaks our trials ended;Our Lord has come to take us home,—O hail, happy day!No more by doubts or fears distressed,We now shall gain our promised rest,And be forever blest;O hail, happy day!

Swell loud the glad note, our bondage now is over,The jubilee proclaims us free,—O hail, happy day!The day that brings a sweet release,That crowns our Jesus Prince of peace,And bids our sorrows cease;—O hail, happy day!

O hail, happy day, that ends our tears and sorrows,That brings us joy without alloy,—O hail, happy day!There peace shall wave her scepter high,And love's fair banner greet the eye,Proclaiming victory;—O hail, happy day!

We hail thy bright beams, O morn of Zion's glory,Thy blessed light breaks on our sight,—O hail, happy day!Fair Beulah's fields before us rise,And sweetly burst upon our eyesThe joys of Paradise;—O hail, happy day!

Thrice hail, happy day, when earth shall smile in gladness,And Eden bloom o'er nature's tomb,—O hail, happy day!Where life's pure waters gently glide,Safe by the dear Redeemer's side,Forever we 'll abide;—O hail, happy day!
