I

Our evening prayers attend,

O Thou that holy art;

In mercy full forgiveness send

To every contrite heart;

For Thou hast risen to set us free,

And all mankind rejoice in Thee.

II

Encompass Zion round,

Ye people, tell His fame;

Let Resurrection joy abound,

And glory to His name;

He is our Lord, who from the grave

Arose our sinning souls to save.

III

With resurrection lays

Ye people, come, adore,

And worship Him with grateful praise

Who lives for evermore;

He is our God, who from the grave

Arose our sinning souls to save.

IV

Lord, by Thy Passion Thou

Sav'st men from passions base,

And by Thy Resurrection, now

Dost from corruption raise.

Glory to Thee we humbly bring,

O Christ, who art our Heavenly King.
