197 - The Day of Resurrection

Posted in Song Book

      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,
          The round world keep high triumph,
          And all that is there in;
          Let all things seen and unseen
          Their notes together blend,
          For Christ the Lord is risen,
          Our joy that hath no end…
