A brighter dawn is breaking, and earth with praise is waking; for thou, O King most highest, the power of death defiest; and thou hast come victorious, with risen Body glorious, who now for ever livest, and life abundant givest. O free the world from blindness, and fill the world with kindness, give sinners resurrection, bring striving to perfection; in sickness give us healing, in doubt thy clear revealing, that praise to thee be given in earth as in thy heaven.
