edward bairstow - the day draws on with golden light lyrics
the day draws on with golden light
glad songs go echoing through the height
the broad earth lifts an answering cheer
the deep makes moan with wailing fear
for lo, he comes, the mighty king
to take from death his power and sting
to trample down his gloomy reign
and break the weary prisoner’s chain
enclosed he lay in rocky cell
with guard of armèd sentinel;
but thence returning, strong and free
he comes with pomp of jubilee
the sad apostles mourn him slain
nor hope to see their lord again;
their lord, whom rebel thralls defy
arraign, accuse and doom to die
but now they put their grief away
the pains of h+ll are loosed today;
for by the grave, with flashing eyes
“your lord is risen,” the angel cries
maker of all, to thee we pray
fulfil in us thy joy today;
when death assaults, grant, lord, that we
may share thy paschal mystery
to thee, who, dead, again dost live
all glory, lord, thy people give;
all glory, as is ever meet
to father and to paraclete
