166 The Day of Resurrection

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 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, 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 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 shall have no end.
