Easter Flowers, Easter Carols

lyricist: W. J. Roberts, 1883
Composer: William Hall

Easter flow­ers

East­er car­ols

Deck the al­tar

fill the air;

Glorious dawns the hap­py morn­ing

O’er a world so bright and fair.

Alleluia

let us sing

Alleluia to the King!

When the clouds of night were brok­en

Angels rolled the stone away

And on this bright East­er morn­ing

Sing we now the tri­umph lay.

In the mists of ear­ly morn­ing

Came the faith­ful to the tomb

Angel guard­ians clad in white robes

Sat there in the break­ing gloom.

He is ris­en! thus the an­gel

Spake unto the faith­ful three

He is ris­en

won­drous story

He has gone to Ga­li­lee.

Now the clouds of night are brok­en

Mortals now the sto­ry tell

He is ris­en! Al­le­lu­ia!

Let the joy­ful an­them swell.
