Author: William M. Kendall Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: It is a day of gladness Refrain First Line: Jesus is risen! O swell the refrain Lyrics: 1. It is a day of gladness, This blessèd Easter morn, O day of banished sadness, The day when hope was born; A time of great rejoicing, When men and angels sing, With loud hosannas voicing The praise of Christ the King. Refrain Jesus is risen! O swell the refrain; Jesus the Crucified liveth again! Grave, thou art conquered; O Death, thou art vain! Jesus is risen, and liveth again! 2. With joy our voices raising, We join the glad acclaim, To tell His strength amazing, And praise His matchless name; For in the Easter’s breaking, Long centuries ago, The Son of God was waking Triumphant o’er His foe. [Refrain] 3. O tell the Easter story, How Jesus burst the tomb, And pierced with shafts of glory Our night of grief and gloom. No more death’s sting shall harm us; No more we fear the grave; No more can sin alarm us; The risen Christ doth save. [Refrain] 4. O souls that need salvation, As far from Christ you stray, Hear now His invitation, Make this your Easter day; The Christ is loudly crying, Amid earth’s storm and strife, To souls in trespass dying— I bring abundant life.
