6 All hail the darkness of the shadowland! All hail the dawn of peace on earth; good will to men!

7 All hail triumphant king, who grapples with the tyrant Death, who conquers in the fight, and brings to light immortal life for men!

8 All hail the broken cross, the mutilated spear!

9 All hail the triumph of the soul! All hail the empty tomb!

10 All hail to him despised by men, rejected by the multitudes; for he is seated on the throne of power!

11 All hail! for he has called the pure in heart of every clime to sit with him upon the throne of power!

12 All hail, the rending veil! The way into the highest courts of God is open for the sons of men!

13 Rejoice, O men of earth, rejoice, and be exceeding glad!

14 Bring forth the harp and touch its highest strings; bring forth the lute, and sound its sweetest notes!

15 For men who were made low, are high exalted now, and they who walked in darkness and in the vale of death, are risen up and God and man are one forevermore,
