Hail, Thou Bright and Sacred Morn

Author: Julia A. Elliott Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hail, thou bright and sacred morn, Ris’n with gladness in thy beams! Light, which not of earth is born, From thy dawn in glory streams; Airs of Heav’n are breathed around, And each place is holy ground. 2. Sad and weary were our way, Fainting oft beneath our load, But for thee, thou blessèd day, Resting place on life’s rough road; Here flow forth the streams of grace; Strengthened hence we run our race. 3. Great Creator, who this day From Thy perfect work didst rest, By the souls that own Thy sway Hallowed be its hours and blest; Cares of earth aside be thrown, This day give to Heav’n alone. 4. Savior, who this day didst break The dark prison of the tomb, Bid my slumbering soul awake; Shine through all its sin and gloom; Let me, from my bonds set free, Rise from sin, and live to Thee. 5. Blessèd Spirit, Comforter, Sent this day from Christ on high; Lord, on me Thy gifts confer, Cleanse, illumine, sanctify: All Thine influence shed abroad; Let me to the truth of God. Used With Tune: SACRED MORN Text Sources: First published anonymously in her husband's Psalms and Hymns (1835), it was acknowledged in the 1839 Third Thousand by the addition of her initials in the index

Julia Anne Elliott

1809 - 1841 Person Name: Julia A. Elliott Author of "Hail, Thou Bright and Sacred Morn" in The Cyber Hymnal Elliott, Julia Anne, née Marshall, daughter of Mr. John Marshall, of Hallsteads, Ullswater, was married to the Rev. H. V. Elliott (q.v.), in 1833, and died Nov. 3, 1841. Her hymns were contributed to her husband's Psalms & Hymns, 1835, anonymously, but in the Index to the "3rd thousand," 1839, her initials were added. These hymns are eleven in all, and concerning them, Miller has justly said (S. & Songs, p. 482), they "show a most refined poetical taste, and a special faculty for appreciating and expressing, appropriately, phases of thought and feeling that are beautiful, and that might have escaped common observation." Of these hymns the best known are, "Hail, thou bright and sacred morn," “On the dewy breath of even,” and "We love Thee, Lord, yet not alone”(q.v.). The rest are:— 1. Father, if that gracious name. Intercession. 2. Great Creator, who this day. Sunday. 3. I would believe; but my weak heart. Len. 4. My God, and can I linger still. Lent. 5. O not when o'er the trembling soul. Lent. 6. O Thou, who didst this rite reveal. Holy Communion. 7. Soon, too soon, the sweet repose. Sunday Evening. 8. Welcome to me the darkest night. Resignation. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
