Glad songs go echoing through the height,
The broad earth lifts an answering cheer,
And hell makes moan with wailing fear.
2 For lo, he comes, the mighty King,
To take from death his power and sting,
To trample down his gloomy reign,
And break the weary prisoner’s chain.
3 Enclosed he lay in rocky cell,
With guard of armèd sentinel;
But thence returning, strong and free,
He comes in might of victory.
4 The sad Apostles mourn him slain,
Nor hope to see their Lord again,
When, to their very eyes restored,
They look upon the risen Lord.
5 *Those wounds before their eyes displayed
They see in heavenly light arrayed,
And what they see they testify
In open witness fearlessly.
6 *O Christ, the King of gentleness,
Thy people's hearts do thou possess,
That we may render all our days
An endless sacrifice of praise.
7 Maker of all, to thee we pray,
Fulfil in us thy joy today;
When death assails, grant, Lord, that we
May share thy Paschal victory.
8 To thee who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give,
All glory to the Father be
And Spirit blest, eternally. Amen.

His Body has redeemed our loss,
And tasting of his precious Blood,

The devastating angel spared;
By strength of hand our hosts went free
From Pharaoh’s ruthless tyranny.

The Lamb of God that knows no stain,
And he, the true unleavened Bread,
Is truly our oblation made.

O great, O very Sacrifice,
Thy captive people are set free,
And endless life restored in thee.

From conquered hell victorious sped,
He thrusts the tyrant down to chains,
And Paradise for man regains.

Will their heads before him wave,
Ripened by his glorious sunshine

Eat we Manna from above.

As a sun hath risen;

Laud and praise undying.

With the day of splendour,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to glad Jerusalem,
Who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesu's Resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death,
Nor the tomb's dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal,
Hold thee as a mortal;
But today amidst thine own
Thou didst stand, bestowing
That thy peace which evermore
Passeth human knowing. Languages: English Tune Title: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM
