Rejoice, heavenly powers!
Sing, choirs of angels! Exult, all creation around God's throne! Jesus Christ, our King, is risen! Sound the trumpet of salvation! Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor, Rejoice, O Mother Church! Exult in glory! It is truly right For Christ has ransomed us with his blood, This is our passover feast, This is the night when first
you saved our fathers: This is the night when the pillar of fire |
This is the night when Christians everywhere, washed
clean of sin This is the night when Jesus Christ What good would life have been to us, Father, how wonderful your care for us! O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, Most blessed of all nights, chosen by God Of this night scripture says: The power of this holy night Night truly blessed when heaven is wedded to earth R. Amen. |
