Easter Offerings (Sherman)

Roses bring and li­lies sweet

Now to cast at Je­sus’ feet;

Roses for our of­fer­ing bring

Unto Christ

our ris­en king.

Lilies sweet as breath of May

For the re­sur­rect­ion day;

Roses bring and li­lies sweet

Now to cast at Je­sus’ feet.

Bringing ros­es

bring­ing li­lies

Now to cast at Je­sus’ feet;

Bringing ros­es

bring­ing li­lies

Now to cast at Je­sus’ feet.

Carols sing

and sweet­est praise

Bring to Him these East­er days;

Golden gate

lift up your head

Christ is ris­en from the dead.

And the re­sur­rect­ion day

Floods the place where Je­sus lay;

Carols sing

and sweet­est praise

Bring to Him these East­er days.

Twine the cy­press

wreathe the bay;

Christ

our king

arose to­day;

Sing

my soul

in joy­ous strain

Jesus died and rose again.

So we’ll rise and live al­way

When shall dawn our East­er day;

Twine the cy­press

wreathe the bay;

Christ

our king

arose to­day.
