Hymns from the Morningland / Being Translations, Centos and Suggestions from the Service Books of the Holy Eastern Church

by Unknown

Joy fills the souls that erstwhile had been sad,

Hope fills the tomb, where hope had never shone.

V

Sleepers, awake! The Christ from death awoke,

Break into song, and let the silence sing,

Speak to the world what language never spoke,

Bring from a tomb what mourners cannot bring.

VI

Glory to God! The Christ hath left the tomb,

Hope in our souls is shining as the sun;
