Author: B. H. Hall Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #86 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service Lyrics: 1 Day of wonder, day of gladness,
Hail thy ever glorious light!
Gone is sorrow, gone is sadness,
Ended is the gloomy night!
Listen to the angel’s story,--
Cast away all dark and dread;
Give to God the Father glory!
Christ is risen from the dead!
2 In the triumph of this hour,
Jubilant shall swell the song;
Unto Jesus, honor, power,
Blessing, victory belong.
Scattered are the clouds of error,
Sin and hell are captive led;
E’en the grave is free from terror,
Christ is risen from the dead!
3 Every people, every nation,
Soon shall hear the gladsome sound;
Joyous tidings of salvation,
Borne to earth’s remotest bound.
Then shall rise, in tones excelling,
Praise for grace so freely shed;
And the Easter hymn be swelling,
Christ is risen from the dead!
Amen.
