Beautiful Easter

Oh

beau­ti­ful

beau­ti­ful East­er

What joy to us you bring!

What plea­sures sweet

when here we meet

To praise our ris­en king!

Easter! East­er!

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful East­er!

Day so dear

so full of cheer

And hap­pi­ness and love!

Easter! East­er!

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful East­er!

Christians

raise your sweet­est praise

To God above.

No sad­ness now lin­gers around us

For all the world looks bright;

And glad eyes glow

wher­e’er we go

With bless­èd East­er light.

The song­birds are joy­ous­ly sing­ing

And bells make mer­ry rhyme;

Yes

all things say or sing to­day

’Tis glad­some East­er-time.

Oh

glo­ri­ous Sav­ior

Thy prais­es

Today our souls em­ploy

For Thou dost live again to give

This time of light and joy.
