O, what a night was that which wrapp’d

The heathen world in gloom!

O, what a sun which broke this day

Triumphant from the tomb!

This day be grateful homage paid,

And loud Hosannah’s sung;

Let gladness dwell on every heart,

And praise on every tongue.

Then thousand different lips shall join

To hail this happy morn;
