Heaven with rosy morn is glowing
Songs of triumph fill the air
Strains of praise from earth are flowing
Hell is writhing in despair.
Earth’s great king
in glory springing
From the deep sepulchral night
While loud anthems round are ringing
Leads His saints to life and light.
Useless watch the guards are keeping
O’er that tomb so still and lone;
He who there in death was sleeping
Bursts the seal
and rends the stone.
Weep no more; no more be given
Gushing tears and mournful sighs
For the grave’s dark gates are riven
Christ is risen! the angel cries.
Be our Paschal joy unending!
And
O Lord
deign Thou to save
Contrite souls
that lowly bending
Pray for life beyond the grave.
Praise the Father
earth and Heaven
Praise the Son
who rose this day
To the Spirit praise be given—
Three in One
and One in three.
