324 the Lord of life and light Awakes the kindling ray; Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day. O what a night was that, which wrapt 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 hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in every heart, And praise on every tongue.
