Hymns of the Lutheran Church

327 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 earth unto 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, 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 her song begin, Let all the world keep triumph, And all that is therein: In grateful exultation, Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our joy that hath no end.
