Sheet music
- 1The 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 overWith hymns of victory.
- 2Our hearts be pure from evil,That we may see arightThe Lord in rays eternalOf resurrection light;And listening to His accents,May hear, so calm and plainHis own “All hail!” and, hearing,May raise the victor strain.
- 3Now let the heav’ns be joyful!Let earth the song begin!Let the round world keep triumph,And all that is therein!Let all things seen and unseenTheir notes in gladness blend,For Christ the Lord hath risen,Our joy that hath no end.
