Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
To sweet new strains attune your theme;
The while we keep, from care release,
With sober joy our Paschal feast.

Right gloriously Christ triumphs now,
worth to whom should all things bow;
And joining heaven and earth again,
Links in one commonweal the twain.

And we, as these Christ's deeds we raise,
God's suppliant people, pray and praise,
That in God's palace, bright and vast,
we may keep watch and ward at last.

Long as unending ages run,
To God Creator, praise be done:
To God the Child, our equal praise,
And God the Holy Ghost, we raise.

Amen.
