15617. Shine, O Sun, In Splendor Bright

1 Shine, O sun, in splendor bright,
Emblem of the Lord of light,
Who this day rose from the dead,
And captiv’ty captive led.

Refrain:
Sing joyously, ye mortals,
For Christ hath oped the portals
Of life to all again.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, amen!
Alleluia! alleluia, alleluia! amen!

2 Now the flowers budding sweet
In the soil beneath our feet,
Raise themselves from sleep like death,
Praising God with fragrant breath. [Refrain]

3 All the trees and plants in spring
To the Resurrection bring
Signal offerings, and declare
Christ is risen, everywhere. [Refrain]
