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 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 its song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
and all that is therein!
Let all things seen and unseen
their notes in gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end.
