The Day of Resurrection!
Let gladness light each face;
And in our solemn concourse give
To each a kind embrace;
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
And death by death is slain;
The silent dwellers in the tomb
Are called to life again.

To those who love or hate us,
"Our brethren," let us say;
Be all with joy forgiven,
This Resurrection Day.
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
And death by death is slain,
The silent dwellers in the tomb
Are called to life again.

Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902
