- 1The 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.
- 2Our 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.
- 3Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
- Let earth her song begin!
- Let the world keep triumph,
- And all that is therein:
- In grateful exultation
- Their notes let all things blend,
- For Christ the Lord hath risen;
- Our joy that hath no end.
- 4Amen.
