Shine, O Sun, in Splendor Bright

Shine

O sun

in splen­dor bright

Emblem of the Lord of light

Who this day rose from the dead

And cap­tiv’ty cap­tive led.

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.

All the trees and plants in spring

To the Re­sur­rect­ion bring

Signal of­fer­ings

and de­clare

Christ is ris­en

ev­ery­where.

Sing joy­ous­ly

ye mor­tals

For Christ hath oped the por­tals

Of life to all again.
