¶Lyrics / Text

Ere yet the gray Of Easter Day Had tinged the night of weeping, With eager heed The women speed Where their dear Lord was sheeping; With perfumes sweet and spices rare and sweeter balm of tears and pray’r To shroud His rest with tender care. What glad surprise the clear sunrise Is with its radiance bringing! The tomb was bright With holy night And shining angels singing; The Lord is ris’n! Be not afraid! The Lord has ris’n as He hath said! Behold the place where He was laid. The tears of night Are dewdrops bright, The sunlit fields adorning; And passion days In songs of praise Shall end on Easter morning; And doubts, and fears, and griefs and pain, Dissolve like clouds in gentle rain To make the springtide bloom again. With heart and voice Let men rejoice In Christ, the King all glorious! He lights the gloom of ev’ry tomb Who rose from dath victorious; For all He broke its cruel sway And rolled the heavy stone away From ev’ry grave, on Easter Day. Now raise again A joyful stain, The risen Lord adorning; Glad homage bring To Christ the King, His mercy sweet imploring! Go forth with song your Lord to greet; Bow down and worship all at His feet, With Alleluias, Alleluias loud and sweet.
