Easter Bells (Thomas)

Easter bells are sweet­ly peal­ing

Easter flow­ers are bloom­ing fair;

Easter breez­es soft­ly steal­ing

Easter mu­sic ev­ery­where.

Christ is ris­en

hal­le­lu­jah!

Christ is ris­en

hal­le­lu­jah!

Conqueror and Sav­ior

He—

Christ hath tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly.

Easter bells are sweet­ly peal­ing

Easter mu­sic ev­ery­where.

Brightly

re­sur­rect­ion’s beau­ty

Beams ov­er all the world to­day;

Vanquished are the pow­ers of dark­ness

Night and gloom are turned to day.

Christian hearts are now re­joic­ing

On this bless­èd day of days.

Peal on peal

from hap­py voic­es

Fills the house of God with praise.
