Easter Carol (Lathbury)

Lift up

O lit­tle child­ren

Your voic­es clear and sweet

And sing the bless­èd story

Of Christ

the Lord of glo­ry

And wor­ship at His feet

And wor­ship at His feet.

Oh

sing the bless­èd sto­ry!

The Lord of life and glo­ry

Is ris­en

as He said

Is ris­en from the dead!

Lift up

O ten­der li­lies

Your white­ness to the sun;

The earth is not our pri­son

Since Christ Him­self hath ris­en

The life of ev­ery one

The life of ev­ery one.

Ring

all ye bells of East­er

Your chimes of joy again

Ring out the night of sad­ness

Ring in the morn of glad­ness

For death no more shall reign

For death no more shall reign.
