1 That Easter day with joy was bright,
The sun shone out with fairer light,
When, to their longing eyes restored,
The apostles saw their risen Lord.
2 O Jesus, King of gentleness,
with constant love our hearts possess
to you our lips will ever raise
the tribute of our grateful praise.
3 O Christ, you are the Lord of all
]in this our Easter festival,
for you will be our strength and shield
from every weapon death can wield.
4 All praise, O risen Lord, we give
to you, once dead, but now alive!
To God the Father equal praise,
and God the Spirit, now we raise!
