Hail, Easter Bright

Author: George R. Woodward, 1848-1934 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16534 First Line: Hail, East­er bright, in glo­ry dight! Lyrics: 1 Hail, East­er bright, in glo­ry dight! The heav­ens laugh and sing; Since Christ, our light, up­rose by night, Let car­ols greet our king. 2 Ye sons of men, in tri­umph high, Exult with heart and voice: Ye sons of God, make glad re­ply, Let Heav­en and earth re­joice. 3 Our Pas­chal joy Christ Je­sus is, Delight of an­gels aye: ’Tis He doth ope the gates of bliss, And wash our guilt away. 4 His wounds, how fair to look up­on! He liv­eth, slain of yore: Winter for Him is past and gone, And tem­pests rage no more. 5 The blood of Christ won par­don sure For man from God ab­ove: In His, our death wounds find a cure; Thanks, Jesu, for Thy love.

George Ratcliffe Woodward

1848 - 1934 Person Name: George R. Woodward, 1848-1934 Author of "Hail, Easter Bright" in The Cyber Hymnal Educated at Caius College in Cambridge, England, George R. Woodward (b. Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, 1848; d. Highgate, London, England, 1934) was ordained in the Church of England in 1874. He served in six parishes in London, Norfolk, and Suffolk. He was a gifted linguist and translator of a large number of hymns from Greek, Latin, and German. But Woodward's theory of translation was a rigid one–he held that the translation ought to reproduce the meter and rhyme scheme of the original as well as its contents. This practice did not always produce singable hymns; his translations are therefore used more often today as valuable resources than as congregational hymns. With Charles Wood he published three series of The Cowley Carol Book (1901, 1902, 1919), two editions of Songs of Syon (1904, 1910), An Italian Carol Book (1920), and the Cambridge Carol Book
