Hymnal ‎#105

105. The day of resurrection!

1 The Day of Resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of GOD.
From death to life eternal,
From this world to 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 her song begin,
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,
Our Joy that hath no end.
