O for a lay! For on this day,
This day, the first of the seven
Christ is restored to life, the Lord,
Monarch of earth and of heaven.
Defeated hell, and death as well,
On Easter E'en our God is seen
Standing amid the Eleven.


O for a lay! For on this day,<br>
Fair was the morn when Christ was born,
This day, the first of the seven<br>
But fairer yet is the morrow,
Christ is restored to life, the Lord,<br>
When from the dead uprose our Head,
Monarch of earth and of heaven.<br>
Ending our night-time of sorrow.
Defeated hell, and death as well,<br>
And from the light of Easter bright
On Easter E'en our God is seen<br>
We, ash and dust, sure hope and trust
Standing amid the Eleven.<br>
of our agen-rising borrow.


Fair was the morn when Christ was born,<br>
So, man, rejoice, uplift thy voice,
But fairer yet is the morrow,<br>
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.
When from the dead uprose our Head,<br>
Soothly 'tis time to clang the chime,
Ending our night-time of sorrow.<br>
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.
And from the light of Easter bright<br>
Sirs, pray you sing to Christ our King,
We, ash and dust, sure hope and trust<br>
Who, lately slain, is ris'n again;
of our agen-rising borrow.<br>
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.}}
 
So, man, rejoice, uplift thy voice,<br>
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.<br>
Soothly 'tis time to clang the chime,<br>
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.<br>
Sirs, pray you sing to Christ our King,<br>
Who, lately slain, is ris'n again;<br>
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.<br>

O for a lay! For on this day,
This day, the first of the seven
Christ is restored to life, the Lord,
Monarch of earth and of heaven.
Defeated hell, and death as well,
On Easter E'en our God is seen
Standing amid the Eleven.

Fair was the morn when Christ was born,
But fairer yet is the morrow,
When from the dead uprose our Head,
Ending our night-time of sorrow.
And from the light of Easter bright
We, ash and dust, sure hope and trust
of our agen-rising borrow.

So, man, rejoice, uplift thy voice,
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.
Soothly 'tis time to clang the chime,
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.
Sirs, pray you sing to Christ our King,
Who, lately slain, is ris'n again;
Alle-Alle-Alleluya.
