The Day of Resurrection
Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:9 Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad,
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Let hearts be purged of 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 its song begin,
let all the world keep triumph
and all that is therein.
Let all things, seen and unseen,
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our joy that has no end!

But saving, healing, here and now
And touching ev'ry place and time.

Untouched, unmoved by human pains,
But daily, in the midst of life,
Our Savior in the God-head reigns.

Where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
And lives, where even hope has died.

Good news to this and ev'ry age,
Till earth and sky and ocean ring
With joy, with justice, love, and praise. Used With Tune: TRURO

Ye who feel the tempter's power,
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with him one bitter hour;
Turn not from his griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

View the Lord of life arraigned:
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss,
Learn of him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of time--
God's own sacrifice complete;
It is finished, hear him cry,
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid his lifeless clay;
All is solitude and gloom--
Who hath taken him away?
Christ hath risen--he meets our eyes;
Saviour, teach us so to rise.
