Missal of St. Gall
Here comes the day which the Lord
hath
made: It destroys death. All
creatures
keep a feast of joy at the
resurrection
of Jesus.
Flowers
spring up, meadows are again
clothed
in their rich verdure, and birds,
now
that gloomy winter is past, carol
in
sweet jubilation.
The
sun and moon, which mourned at
Jesus’
death, are brighter now than
ever.
The earth, that shook at his death
and
seemed ready to fall to ruin, now
puts
on her richest green to greet her
risen
God.
Let
us, therefore, be glad on this day
whereon
our Jesus, by his resurrection,
opened
to us the way of life.
Let
stars and earth and sea rejoice: Let
all
the choirs of the blessed in heaven
give
praise to the Trinity.
Amen.
