The day of resurrection
Earth, tell it out abroad
the pass-Over of gladness,
The Pass-Over or God.
From death to life eternal,
From this world to the sky,
Our Christ hath bro't us over
With hymns of victory.

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 vict'ry strain.

Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
Let earth her song begin,
Let all the word keep triumph
And all that is therein,
Let all things, seen and unseen,
Their notes of gladness blend;
For Christ the Lord hath risèn,
Our joy that hath no end!
