Friday (when Christ was crucified) is gone, Sunday (when He rose from the dead) is here!...
A day full of great beauty and unanswerable logic
A day of rest and gladness
A day of joy and light
Most beautiful, must bright
On thee, at the creation,
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee our LORD, victorious,
The Spirit sent from Heaven;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A tripple light was given
Christopher Wordsworth
The strife is o'er, the battle done;
Now is the Victor's triump won;
Now be the song of praise begun-Hallelujah!
The powers of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legion has despersed;...
He brake the age-bound chains of hell;
The bars from heaven's high portals fell.
Welcome, happy morning! age to age shall say;
Hell today is vanquished; Heaven is won today.
Lo! the dead is living, God forever more!
Him, their creator, all his works adore.
Latin Hymn, dating back to the sixth century.
Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,
For Jesus has risen, and man shall not die
