Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Storrs)

Christ the Lord is ris­en to­day!

He who in the man­ger lay

Watched by gen­tle mo­ther’s eyes

Lives and reigns be­yond the skies.

Christ the Lord is ris’n to­day!

Each to oth­er glad­ly say!

Shout

ye hap­py ones

and sing

Let the earth with mu­sic ring!

Shout

ye hap­py ones and sing

Let the earth with mu­sic ring!

Bring the ros­es’ rich per­fume

Bring the gar­den’s glad­dest bloom

Bring the li­lies’ saint­ly white

Emblems of the soul’s de­light—

Emblems of the spir­it’s glow

We

like Ma­ry

soon may know

When our Mas­ter’s voice we hear

Speak our name in ac­cents clear.

When our Mas­ter’s voice we hear

Speak our name in ac­cents clear.

O the man­sions Christ pre­pares

Where for each He looks and cares!

O the gar­den bloom­ing bright

Where His glo­ry is the light!

Here His love is per­fect peace

There His love shall nev­er cease!

Sing

ye child­ren

sing and say

Christ the Lord is ris’n to­day.

Sing

ye child­ren

sing and say

Christ the Lord is ris’n to­day.
