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, list'ning to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All hail!" and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
Let earth her song begin,
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes in gladness blend;
For Christ the Lord hath risen;
Our Joy that hath no end.
Amen.
