The Day of Resurrection

The day of resurrection! Earth tell it out abroad;The passover of gladness, the passover of God.From death to life eternal of resurrection light;Our Christ has brought us over with hymns of victory.

Our hearts be pure from evil, that we may see arightThe Lord in rays eternal of resurrection light;And listening to His accents, may hear so calm and plainHis own “All hail!” and hearing, may raise the victor strain.

Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth, her song, begin!Now let the world keep triumph, and all that is therein!Let all things seen and unseen, their notes in gladness blend,For Christ the Lord has risen, our joy that has no end.

John of Damascus (8th century); Psalm 118:15trans. John M. Neale (1818-1866)
