Easter Hymn


by Pavel Chichikov

Angels laid him in his grave

Bright as the sun

Angels laid him in his grave

Bright as the sun

Angels laid him in his grave

Bright as the sun

That shines down from the sky

They shut him up with a mighty stone

Big as the sun

They shut him up with a mighty stone

Big as the sun

They shut him up with a mighty stone

Big as the sun

The one who had to die

Days and nights he lay inside

Sunlight and star

Days and nights he lay inside

Sunlight and star

Days and nights he lay inside

Sunlight and star

And darkness hid his face

The dawning of the holy day

He rose like the sun

The dawning of the holy day

He rose like the sun

The dawning of the holy day

He rose like the sun

The morning star of grace

Angels stood on either side

Guarding the door

Angels stood on either side

Guarding the door

Angels stood on either side

Guarding the door

But the sun refused to stay

Saints and prophets followed him

Rose from the grave

Saints and prophets followed him

Rose from the grave

Saints and prophets followed him

Rose from the grave

Like stars that have no name

Shadows went before his feet

Servants of light

Shadows went before his feet

Servants of light

Shadows went before his feet

Servants of light

And then they fled away

All who rise can follow him

Light like the sun

All that rise can follow him

Light like the sun

All that rise can follow him

Light like the sun

That's brighter than the day
