Buds and Blossoms of the Spring

Buds and blos­soms of the spring

Bloom to praise the heav’n­ly King;

Let the joy­ful news be spread

Christ is ris­en from the dead.

Ever liv­ing

lov­ing friend

Now to Thee our songs as­cend;

Make us pure in heart

that we

May the heav’n­ly vi­sion see.

Empty now the Sav­ior’s tomb

Light is shin­ing through the gloom;

He is liv­ing ev­er­more

On the bright eter­nal shore.

Teach us Sav­ior

day by day

Walking with us by the way;

May our hearts with­in us burn

While still more of Thee we learn.
