Author: John of Damascus (c. 675-c. 750); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:24 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 sin's dominion free,
our Christ has 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
and earth her song begin,
the round world keep high triumph
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes in gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end. Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
