THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

Text: John Damascene, 675-749; tr. By John M. Neale, 1862
Music: Fr. J. Roel Lungay

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.

(Interlude)

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.

(Repeat Verse 1)
