Author: John Mason Neale; John of Damascus, 8th century Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #197 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Peace and Joy 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 this world to the sky,
Our Christ hath 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 heav'ns be joyful,
Let earth her song begin;
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our Joy that hath no end.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 28:9 Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
The day of resurrection!
