Henceforth now be crucified
All our anger, lust, and pride
Every evil passion die,
Mortified continually!

Easter-Day: The "day of days:"
Radiance immortal plays
Round the sepulchre whose door,
Open now can close no more!
Stricken guard and broken seal
To our longing eyes reveal
What the glorious Angel saith
Who unbarred that gate of death:
"He is risen; do not fear;
Jesus is no longer here;
But in lowly Galilee
Ye again your Lord shall see."
Swift, with Alleluias sweet,
Follow we His holy feet,
Singing all the joyful way:
"Christ the Lord has risen to-day!"

Precious Easter-Tide: Again
Jesus walks the ways of men;
In a body glorified,
Yet the very same that died,
Pierced in hand b and feet, and side;
And we know in His own time
We shall share that change sublime.
