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 has 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 him speaking,
May hear so calm and plain
His own "Arise!" and, hearing,
May raise the vict'ry strain.
3 Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
Let earth the song begin,
The whole world sing of triumph,
The vict'ry over sin;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes together blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,
Our joy that has no end.
4 Then praise we God the Father,
And praise we Christ the Son,
With them the Holy Spirit,
Eternal Three-in-One,
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the throne,
And honor, pow'r, and glory
Ascribe to God alone.
