1 The day of resurrection–
earth, tell it out abroad,
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from earth unto the sky,
our Christ hath brought us over
with hymns of victory.

2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light,
and, listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "All hail!" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.

3 Now let the heavens be joyful;
let earth its song begin;
let the round world keep triumph,
and all that is therein;
invisible and visible,
their notes together blend,
for Christ the Lord hath risen,
our joy that hath no end.
