Author: George Newell Lovejoy Appears in 1 hymnal Refrain First Line: For death is swallowed up of life Lyrics: 1 Oh, Earth! throughout thy borders,
Redon thy fairest dress;
And everywhere, oh, Nature!
Throb with new happiness;
Once more to new creation
Awake, and death gainsay,
Refrain:
For death is swallowed up of life,
And Christ is ris’n today!
2 Let peals of jubilation
Ring out in all the lands;
With hearts of deep elation
Let sea with sea clasp hands;
Let one supreme Te Deum
Roll round the world’s highway, [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Oh, Earth! throughout thy borders] Text Sources: The Chautaquan (Cleveland: Chautauqua Press, vol. 35, April 1902)
