'Tis 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. | |
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! | |

Come, and let us drink of that New River, Not from barren Rock divinely poured, But the Fount of Life that is for ever From the Sepulchre of CHRIST the LORD. |
|
All the world hath bright illumination, -- Heav'n and Earth and things beneath the earth: 'Tis the Festival of all Creation: CHRIST hath ris'n, Who gave Creation birth: |
|
