That from the night of sorrow Sprang forth with living light. We hail thy holy dawning With songs of joy once more And tell the wondrous tidings In gladness o’er and o’er! Refrain: The Lord is ris’n indeed! And glory crowns the King! The Lord is ris’n indeed, The joyful tidings ring! Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice! O earth, exultant sing! 2 Bring fragrant buds and blossoms, And Easter lilies fair, To fill the holy temple With incense pure and rare! The flowers of resurrection Make sweet and fair the spring, And sacred inspiration From their Creator bring!

All hail, O risen Savior, The victory is won! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O day of resurrection]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "[O day of resurrection]" in The Cyber Hymnal William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
