Let Us Sing for Joy

Day when Heav’n and earth unite

In songs of glad­ness

Triumph tell­ing

o’er the tomb;

Day when mourn­ing ones can ban­ish

All their sad­ness

Songs up­swell­ing

where was gloom.

Let us sing for joy

sing for joy

On this hap­py day;

Christ is ris­en from the dead

He is ris­en as He said;

Let us sing for joy

sing for joy

And His voice ob­ey

Who the hosts of light to vic­to­ry has led.

Day when from the tomb

The Christ arose in glo­ry

As was break­ing morn­ing light

Day when an­gels tell to men

The won­drous sto­ry

Hope awak­ing by His might.

Day when earth may ban­ish

All its cares and sad­ness

And up­rais­ing songs of joy

Send abroad to all the world

The East­er glad­ness

Ever prais­ing—best em­ploy.
