Beautiful Eastertide (Worrell)

lyricist: Edna Worrell, 1914
Composer: Clinton Lowden

Look to the world

’tis a tem­ple fair

Oh

so fair

won­drous fair;

Bidding us all to en­gage in pray­er

This beau­ti­ful East­er­tide.

See the mea­dows in green ar­rayed;

Beautiful East­er­tide!

Dew

like dia­monds and pearls dis­played

Beautiful East­er­tide!

Streams of sil­ver with flow­ers strown

Skies that are sap­phire dyed

Speak the love that the Christ has shone

This beau­ti­ful East­er­tide.

Every spot is a ho­ly place

Holy place

ho­ly place;

Here one may kneel and re­ceive the grace

Of Christ

on this East­er­tide.

Altars of God! who they speak of love

Tender love

per­fect love;

Rich gifts of beau­ty from Christ above

Who’s ris­en this East­er­tide.
