15591. The Whole Bright World Rejoices Now

1 The whole bright world rejoices now,
Hilariter, hilariter!
The birds do sing on every bough,
Alleluia, alleluia!

2 Then shout beneath the racing skies,
Hilariter, hilariter!
To Him who rose that we might rise,
Alleluia, alleluia!

3 And all you living things make praise,
Hilariter, hilariter!
He guideth you on all your ways,
Alleluia, alleluia!

4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—
Hilariter, hilariter!
Our God most high, our joy and boast.
Alleluia, alleluia!
