1 That Easter day with joy was bright;
The sun shone out with fairer light
When, to their longing eyes restored,
The apostles saw their risen Lord!

2 His risen flesh with radiance glowed;
His wounded hands and feet he showed.
Those scars their solemn witness gave
That Christ was risen from the grave.

3 O Jesus, King of gentleness,
With constant love our hearts possess
That we may give you all our days
The tribute of our grateful praise.

4 O Lord of all, with us abide
In this our joyful Easter-tide;
From ev'ry weapon death can wield
Your own redeemed forever shield.

5 All praise to you, O risen Lord,
Now both by heav'n and earth adored;
To God the Father equal praise,
And God the Spirit, now we raise!
