Easter, joyous Easter,
holy happy time!
Bells ring out their message,
joy in every chime;
Sweetly through their music,
faint an echo swells,
Voices seem to mingle
with the bells. (Glad Easter bells.)
Seek ye not the living
here among the dead;
Christ the Lord is risen,
risen as He said;
Blessèd reassurance,
gone the weary night,
Christ is risen!
Easter breaks in floods of light!
Voices in a garden,
near a rock-hewn tomb,
Gracious heav’nly voices,
cheering earth’s dark gloom;
Voices from the glory,
sent from thence to tell,
Jesus lives again!
Immanuel! (Immanuel!)
Seek ye not the living
here among the dead;
Christ the Lord is risen,
risen as He said;
Blessèd reassurance,
gone the weary night,
Christ is risen!
Easter breaks in floods of light!
Other voices echo,
through the Easter chime
One above all others,
speaks with pow’r sublime;
Tender words of comfort,
peace and love profound,
O’er the world today
His words resound. (His words resound.)
Seek ye not the living
here among the dead;
Christ the Lord is risen,
risen as He said;
Blessèd reassurance,
gone the weary night,
Christ is risen!
Easter breaks in floods of light!
