Shine, O sun, in splen­dor bright,
Emblem of the Lord of light,
Who this day rose from the dead,
And cap­tiv’ty cap­tive led.

Refrain

Sing joy­ous­ly, ye mor­tals,
For Christ hath oped the por­tals
Of life to all again.
Alleluia, al­le­lu­ia, al­le­lu­ia, amen!
Alleluia! al­le­lu­ia, al­le­lu­ia! amen!

Now the flow­ers bud­ding sweet
In the soil be­neath our feet,
Raise them­selves from sleep like death,
Praising God with frag­rant breath.

Refrain

All the trees and plants in spring
To the Re­sur­rect­ion bring
Signal of­fer­ings, and de­clare
Christ is ris­en, ev­ery­where.
