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.
Let hearts be purged of 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,
“All hail!” and, hearing, may raise the victor strain.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Now let the heav’ns be joyful! Let earth the song begin!
The round world keep high 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.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
