FATHER of light, we praise thee !
Thy Son is risen again.
Spirit of love, we praise thee!
He shares thy glorious reign.
Good tidings, Virgin Princess !
Thy Son is risen this morn.
Good tidings to all mortals.
The born and the unborn!
Good news to you, bright Heavens !
For Christ, who dwelt in you,
Is risen; good tidings, lowly Earth !
Thy Saviour lives anew.
Good news to you, all worlds and orbs
That circle overhead !
Good news ! Your great Establisher
Is risen from the dead !
Good news, ye light and darkness !
A new sun rises high.
Good news to you, all creatures !
Christ lives ; you shall not die.
Good news to you, ye dead folk!
For you shall be set free.
Good tidings to all beings
That are, or are to be !
(Leo Alishan)
