Coming from the Winter

lyricist: Walter Haw­kins (1857–?)
Composer: Tho­mas Jo­zé (1853–1924)

Coming from the win­ter

Into hap­py spring

To our ris­en Sav­ior

Easter songs we bring.

Happy

hap­py spring­time

Happy East­er Day;

Jesus Christ is ris­en

And He lives for aye.

Gentle lit­tle flow­ers

Strong to cleave the sod

Tell of Jesus ris­ing

Gentle Son of God.

Trees that bud and blos­som

At the warm spring’s breath

Tell us life is great­er—

Greater far—than death.

To our hearts this mes­sage

Easter Day should give—

They who trust in Je­sus

Shall not die

but live.

Not to cold

dark win­ter

Shall our foot­steps tend

But to that bright sum­mer

Which shall nev­er end.
