Feast of Feasts the Fast succeedeth!
 Once again the strain is poured:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
 Glory to the risen Lord!
Song of songs, in endless gladness
Drowning pain and doubt and sadness.

Alleluia! "He is risen!"
 "Risen indeed!" the shouts resound.
Holy greeting answers greeting;
 Joy at last on earth is found.
Shore to shore the salutations
Bind as one redeemèd nations.

Alleluia! Choirs of angels
 To the choirs of earth respond;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
 Rolleth seas and skies beyond.
Heaven and earth at last shall sever,
But the song shall peal forever!
