Day when Heav’n and earth unite
In songs of glad­ness,
Triumph tell­ing, o’er the tomb;
Day when mourn­ing ones can ban­ish
All their sad­ness,
Songs up­swell­ing, where was gloom.

Refrain

Let us sing for joy, sing for joy,
On this hap­py day;
Christ is ris­en from the dead,
He is ris­en as He said;
Let us sing for joy, sing for joy,
And His voice ob­ey,
Who the hosts of light to vic­to­ry has led.

Day when from the tomb
The Christ arose in glo­ry,
As was break­ing morn­ing light,
Day when an­gels tell to men
The won­drous story,
Hope awak­ing by His might.

Refrain

Day when earth may ban­ish
All its cares and sad­ness,
And up­rais­ing songs of joy,
Send abroad to all the world
The East­er glad­ness,
Ever prais­ing—best em­ploy.
