O day of re­sur­rect­ion,
Sing out the glad re­frain!
And tell to ev­ery nation
That Christ has ris’n again.
No more shall pow­ers of dark­ness
Hold sway o’er those who fall,
If they but rise, con­fess Him,
Proclaim Him Lord of all.

Refrain

Then sing again, ye peo­ple,
Rejoice for­ev­er­more;
For Je­sus Christ is ris­en,
Our Sav­ior, King and Lord.

O day of re­sur­rect­ion,
We hail thy glad re­turn,
And pray that God Eter­nal
Will make our hearts to burn.
We heark­en to thy ac­cents,
All times, so calm, so still,
And list­en­ing, hear the mes­sage
From God’s most Ho­ly Hill.

Refrain

O day of re­sur­rect­ion,
Let hearts with voic­es blend,
For Christ the Lord is ris­en,
Our hope that hath no end.
Sing to the lands in dark­ness
The re­sur­rect­ion light,
That they may have the glad­ness
Of vic­to­ry ov­er night.

Refrain
