Lo, the Earth Is Risen Again

lyricist: Samuel Longfellow, 1859
Composer: John Wilkes, 1861

Lo

the earth is ris­en again

From the win­ter’s bond and pain!

Bring we leaf and flow­er and spray

To ad­orn our hol­iday!

Once again the word comes true

Lo

He mak­eth all things new!

Now the dark

cold days are o’er

Light and glad­ness are be­fore.

How our hearts leap with the spring!

How our spir­its soar and sing!

Light is vic­tor ov­er gloom

Life tri­umph­ant o’er the tomb.

Change

then

mourn­ing in­to praise

And

for dirg­es

an­thems raise!

All our fears and griefs shall be

Lost in im­mor­tal­ity.
