Resplendent Resurrection

Fits tune: Easter Hymn

('Jesus Christ is risen today')

******

'Alleluia'! is sung after every line

There we on a green hill fair - Alleluia!

We in Christ's passion did share

Walked along the road He trod

Followed Him, the Son of God

We recalled too of His suffering

Which our salvation did bring

Now we share in Easter sure

Christ does live for evermore

Pray for peace of [Jeru]Salem here

Many troubles world does fear

But Christ, Lord, He King of Kings

Let all that has breath, Him sing

Burst the gates, the gates of hell

Deaths' victory gone, we do tell

Christ has dealt with death's sharp sting

Sins forgiven, let praises ring

Shine, arise, the dayspring dawns

Downcast souls no longer mourn

For the light of life is risen

Opened tomb of death's dark prison

Pray for peace in every nation

Joy and hope and true elation

Darkness scattered, love unfeigned

Scars still shown where he was pained

Visitors to garden tomb

Found Him there not, empty room

He the perfect work has done

Resurrected, Holy Son - Alleluia!
