Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #125 (1957) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 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.
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 the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes of gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our Joy that hath no end.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Resurrection and Ascension Scripture: Matthew 28:2 Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
