Edition notes: The original order of staves is 2d. - 1st. - [Instrumental Bass] in symphonies and Tenor - [Alto] - Treble - [Bass] - [Instrumental Bass] in sung sections. The symphony between the verses is printed in the source with the 2nd. part given on the Tenor stave: this has been given on the Alto stave in the present edition, and is given at the same octave here as in the source (it has not been transposed by an octave in transcription). The instrumental bass from beat 4 of bar 24 to beat 3 of bar 26 is printed in the tenor clef in the source. The alto part is printed in the treble clef, an octave above sounding pitch, in the source. The second and third verses of the text are printed after the music in the source and have here been underlaid editorially.

English.png English text

Arise and hail the happy day,
Cast all low cares of life away,
And thought of meaner things:
This day to cure our deadly woes
The sun of righteousness arose,
With healing in his wings.

If angels on that happy morn
The Saviour of the world was born,
Pour'd forth their joyful song;
Much more should we of human race
Adore the wonders of his grace,
To whom that grace belongs.

O then let heav'n and earth rejoice,
Let ev'ry creature join his voice
To hymn the happy day,
When Satan's empire vanquish'd fell
And all the pow'rs of death and hell
Confess'd his sov'reign sway.
