Joy for sorrow, Happy morrow, After night of terror: Home for strangers, Peace Peace from from dangers,Wisdom after error: Strength from weakness, Winter's bleakness By glad springtidefollow'd Tempests vanish'd,Sickness banish'd, Death in in vict'ry swallow'd No more weeping, No more keeping Vigil now, nor fasting Tears are drying, Grief is flying, Joy is everlasting.Day of light and brilliancy,Breaking forth so gloriously!Day of grace and majesty,Pardon and serenity,Messenger of victory, Portal of eternity, Christ hath aris'n in thee. Alleluya. As He hath ris'n so we Alleluya. We joy in the joy of our Lord, Alleluya. We seek through the Cross the reward. Alleluya.
