Lyrics

illustration

Oh, Earth! through­out thy bor­ders,
Redon thy fair­est dress;
And ev­ery­where, oh, Na­ture!
Throb with new hap­pi­ness;
Once more to new cre­ation
Awake, and death gain­say,

Refrain

For death is swal­lowed up of life,
And Christ is ris’n to­day!

Let peals of ju­bi­la­tion
Ring out in all the lands;
With hearts of deep ela­tion
Let sea with sea clasp hands;
Let one su­preme Te Deum
Roll round the world’s high­way,

Refrain
