Original text and translations

English text

1. Come, sing with holy gladness,
High alleluias sing;
Lift up your hearts and voices
With new-awakened spring.
Sing, youths and gentle maidens,
Your hymn of praise today,
With old men and with children,
In sweet according lay.

2. The time of resurrection!
Earth sings it all abroad;
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God!
The sign of life eternal
Is writ on earth and sky,
The hope for ever vernal,
Of Life the victory.

3. Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
The seas their bright waves swell,
Let the round world keep triumph
With all that there-in dwell!
Now let the seen and unseen
In one glad an-them blend,
Let all our hearts be risen
To life that hath no end.
