Come, Children, One and All

Come

child­ren

one and all

Our East­er car­ol sing

And with the birds and flow­ers

Our heart’s pure in­cense bring.

Birds are sing­ing

Buds are spring­ing

Everything is gay

While sun­beams gleam­ing

Bright eyes beam­ing

Sing our East­er lay.

For Christ has ris’n to­day

The Sun­day of the year;

Then with glad hearts we’ll raise

Our voic­es bright and clear.

We know it was for us

Our Sav­ior rose to­day;

Ascending first to Heav­en

He said I am the way.

Then let us all to­day

Our East­er an­thems raise

And join the an­gel choirs

In hymn­ing forth His praise.
