Do You Wonder Why We’re Glad?

Do you won­der why we’re glad?

How can any­one be sad

When our Sav­ior rose this hap­py East­er day?

From the land of Ed­en bright

Came an an­gel robed in white

Rolled the stone

the hea­vy

cru­el stone away.

Blessèd Je­sus

ris­en Je­sus

Tender friend of lit­tle child­ren

Ever kind and true;

Blessèd Je­sus

ris­en Je­sus

Still we seek Thy will to do.

Don’t you know that Je­sus lives

And to all a bless­ing gives

If they will but try His ho­ly will to do?

Speaking words of hope and cheer

Telling of a Sav­ior dear

Who will give us life

yes

life for­ev­er new.

Do you won­der why we’re gay

Singing praise to God al­way?

Well

we know we have a friend who ne’er can die;

From the dark and gloomy grave

He arose our souls to save

Some glad day we’ll live with Him be­yond the sky.
