Hymn 221: The day of resurrection

Eyi l’ojo ajinde

  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!
    Let all things seen and unseen
    Their notes in gladness blend,
    For Christ the Lord hath risen,
    Our joy that hath no end. Amin.
