Lyrics

Hail, thou glo­ri­ous East­er morn­ing,
Day of joy be­yond com­pare;
Angels hailed thy glo­ri­ous dawn­ing,
Found the stone no long­er there.

Refrain

Shout aloud, O earth and Hea­ven,
Angels join the glad re­frain,
Christ for man Him­self has giv­en,
Christ has died, but lives again.

Found the grave no long­er bound Him,
Found death’s vic­to­ry was o’er;
Christ, new glo­ry shin­ing round Him,
Reigns in Heav’n for­ev­er­more.

Refrain

All ye na­tions now adore Him,
Cast your of­fer­ing at His feet,
Bring sweet flow­ers to­day be­fore Him,
And glad hymns of joy re­peat.
