O what a Sun which rose this day Triumphant from the tomb! 3 This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart, And praise on ev'ry tongue. 4 Ten thousand diff'rent lips shall join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatters blessings from its wings To nations yet unborn.

Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, paschal victim, paschal bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from on high, hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; death is broken in the fight, thou has brought us life and light. Now no more can death appal, now no more the grave enthral! Thou has opened paradise, and in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 This, our gift of Easter joy, sin alone can now destroy; from sin's power do thou set free souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise; risen Lord, all praise to thee, with the Spirit ever be.

Vain were the terrors that gathered around him, and short the dominion of death and the grave. He burst from the fetters of evil that bound him, resplendent in glory, to live and to save. Loud was the chorus of angels on high, the Savior has risen, and we shall not die. 2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy; the being God gave us, death cannot destroy. Sad were the life we may part with tomorrow, if tears were our birthright and death were our end. But Jesus has cheered the deep valley of sorrow, and bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend. Lift then your voices in triumph on high, for Jesus has risen, and we shall not die.
