That Easter Day with Joy Was Bright
- That Easter day with joy was bright:
the sun shone out with fairer light
when to their longing eyes restored,
th’apostles saw their risen Lord. - His risen flesh with radiance glowed,
his wounded hands and feet he showed;
those scars their solemn witness gave
that Christ was risen from the grave. - O Jesus, King of gentleness,
do thou thyself our hearts possess,
that we may give thee all our days
the willing tribute of our praise. - O Lord of all, with us abide
in this, our joyful Eastertide;
from ev’ry weapon death can wield
thine own redeemed forever shield.
