(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
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, list’ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain,
His own “All hail!” and, hearing, May raise the victor-strain.
3
Now let the heav’ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin,
Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen Their notes in gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our Joy that hath no end!
