Life, We Hail Thee

lyricist: Bell Harrington, 1909
Composer: Edmund Lorenz

Hark! from the fields tri­umph­ant life is spring­ing

Forth from the earth as­cens­ion bells are ring­ing;

There’s no room for pain and grief

Easter time brings sweet re­lief

Life now push­es bud and leaf

Life

life

life!

Life

life

life

ex­ult­ant life

we meet thee;

Life

life

life

tri­umph­ant life

we greet thee;

No more the tomb af­frights with its gloom

For death hath giv­en place to life.

Nature awakes from win­ter’s stern do­min­ion

Upward faith soars on airy

buoy­ant pin­ion;

Earth hath time for naught but joy

Rapture sweet

with­out al­loy

Men their high­est praise em­ploy

Life

life

life!

Our souls look up from er­ror’s doubts ap­pall­ing

Forth to the skies where faith and hope are call­ing;

All our fears are past and gone;

Light of life

shine free­ly on;

Hail the re­sur­rect­ion dawn

Life

life

life!
