Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66; St. John of Damascus, 8th cent. Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #105 (1958) 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 earth unto 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 heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin,
The round world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein;
In grateful exultation
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our joy that hath no end!
