EASTER JOY

EASTER JOY

Away with plaint,

Away with pain;

Let plaint and pain

Be turned to praise.

Let dark manoeuvres come to light,

Our Sun has risen from the night.

He tarries not in t’Upper Room,

But summons us away from gloom.

For gloom is no Christian calling,

The Paschal Mystery bears recalling.

Victor Jesus, to you we cry:

Our bodies raise to you on high

Where on the throne, which you have won

You reign supreme, our glorious Son!

Amen.
