Resurrection Virelai (Monday in Easter Week)
See Him arise
Much brighter than the skies
Victory in the eyes
Of great David’s greater Son…
He breaks the stones of lies,
Unties
The shackles we put on;
Dark Hades He defies,
Decries
The plots of the shame-faced ones.
Before their eyes
He takes His rightful prize,
Swift, majestic, like the sun.
See Him arise
Much brighter than the skies
Victory in the eyes
Of great David’s greater Son!
