Classic Poem

O Earth, throughout thy borders
Re-don thy fairest dress;
And everywhere, O Nature,
Throb with new happiness!
Once more to new creation
Awake, and death gainsay,
For death is swallowed up of life,
And Christ is risen today.

Let peals of jubilation
Ring out in all the lands;
With hearts of deep elation
Let sea with sea clasp hands;
Let one supreme Te Deum
Roll round the world's highway,
For death is swallowed up of life,
And Christ is risen today.

O Earth, throughout thy borders
— Re-don thy fairest dress;
And everywhere, O Nature,
— Throb with new happiness!
Once more to new creation
— Awake, and death gainsay,
For death is swallowed up of life,
— And Christ is risen today.

Let peals of jubilation
— Ring out in all the lands;
With hearts of deep elation
— Let sea with sea clasp hands;
Let one supreme Te Deum
— Roll round the world's highway,
For death is swallowed up of life,
— And Christ is risen today.
