Bright Easter Day

Prelude

Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!

Day on which our Lord arose;

Chase all the clouds of doubt away

Christ has tri­umphed o’er our foes.

Jesu Chris­te

Al­le­lu­ia!

Jesu Chris­te

Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Jesu Christe

Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia!

Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!

Day of days the ve­ry best:

Lift up thine eyes

poor soul

to­day

Christ has con­quered—thou shalt rest.

Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!

Songs of joy to­day we raise

Glad songs to cheer our on­ward way

Songs of love

and songs of praise.

Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!

Lord

Thy day of pow­er

this:

We praise in song

in song we pray

May our souls par­take Thy bliss.
