The day of resurrection —

by John of Damascus · translated by John Mason Neale

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 135 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

The day of resurrection — Earth, tell it out abroad — The passover of gladness, The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over, With hymns of victory.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Now let the heavens be joyful, Let earth the song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our joy that hath no end.
