Author: John of Damascus; J.M. Neale Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #128 (2024) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: The day of resurrection! 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 earth unto the sky,
Our Christ has bro't 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, list'ning to His accents
May hear so calm and plain
His own "All hail," and hearing,
May raise the victor strain.
3. Now let the heav’ns be joyful,
And Earth her song begin!
The whole world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein:
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes of gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,
Our joy that has no end. Topics: Resurrection Sunday Scripture: Matthew 28:5-6 Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
