Hail, Easter Bright

Hail

East­er bright

in glo­ry dight!

The heav­ens laugh and sing;

Since Christ

our light

up­rose by night

Let car­ols greet our king.

Ye sons of men

in tri­umph high

Exult with heart and voice:

Ye sons of God

make glad re­ply

Let Heav­en and earth re­joice.

Our Pas­chal joy Christ Je­sus is

Delight of an­gels aye:

’Tis He doth ope the gates of bliss

And wash our guilt away.

His wounds

how fair to look up­on!

He liv­eth

slain of yore:

Winter for Him is past and gone

And tem­pests rage no more.

The blood of Christ won par­don sure

For man from God ab­ove:

In His

our death wounds find a cure;

Thanks

Jesu

for Thy love.
