Hymns Of The Holy Eastern Church

anastaseos hemera, kai lamprunthomen te panegurei
Pentecostarion, p.5

tr., John Brownlie

7.6.7.6 D

I

The Day of Resurrection!

Let gladness light each face;

And in our solemn concourse give

To each a kind embrace;

For Christ the Lord hath risen,

And death by death is slain;

The silent dwellers in the tomb

Are called to life again.

II

To those who love or hate us,

"Our brethren," let us say;

Be all with joy forgiven,

This Resurrection Day.

For Christ the Lord hath risen,

And death by death is slain,

The silent dwellers in the tomb

Are called to life again.
