English translation by Catherine Winkworth, 1855:
On this day most blest of days,
Let us keep high festival,
For our God hath showed His grace,
And our Sun hath risen on us all,
And our hearts rejoice to see
Sin and night before Him flee.
Hallelujah.
English translation by Richard Massie, 1854:
So let us keep the festival
whereto the Lord invites us;
Christ is himself the joy of all,
the Sun that warms and lights us.
By His grace He doth impart
eternal sunshine to the heart.
The night of sin is ended!
Alleluia!
