Lyrics
✝️The lyrics are an English adaptation with the help of Gemini of the poem "Hristos a înviat/Christ is Risen" by the Romanian poet Alexandru Vlahuță (1858 – 1919)
INTRO
Deep pipe organ pedal note, soft echoes of a distant bell
VERSE 1
The masters of the world did quake with fear
When tidings of Thy journey reached their ear
To carry light where darkness once did reign
And from the grave, O Jesus, rise again!
VERSE 2
For Thou hast mounted to the heavens high
Beneath the arch of the eternal sky
Leaving a trail of hallowed light to bloom
Around the silence of a sacred tomb.
CHORUS
Since then, through ages, o'er the world so wide
An endless echo, like a rising tide
The word of our salvation is proclaimed:
"Christ is risen!" Blessed be His name!
VERSE 3
O, weep no more, ye weary and oppressed
Who wandered long in search of holy rest
For He hath sent His power from above
To conquer all through His redeeming love.
BRIDGE
Ye lonely wanderers, sad and far from home
Join in our song beneath the starlit dome
While all the heavens celebrate this night
This miracle of everlasting light!
OUTRO
A trail of light... A sacred tomb...
Christ is risen. Amen.
