Lo, the Winter Is Past

Nature from her sleep is wak­ing

From her icy bond­age break­ing

Vernal life and beau­ty tak­ing

Lo

the win­ter is past.

Birds their car­ols sweet are sing­ing

Trees and flow’rs their frag­rance bring­ing

Lo

the win­ter is past

Lo

the win­ter is past.

In our hearts new joy is dawn­ing

On this hap­py East­er morn­ing

Every life with hope adorn­ing

Lo! the win­ter is past!

Gone are Len­ten gloom and sad­ness

Bright our path with East­er glad­ness

Lo! the win­ter is past!

Lo! the win­ter is past!

Christ with pow’rs of Death hath striv­en

To the world new life hath giv­en

Op’ning wide the gates of Heav­en

Lo! the win­ter is past.

Sing we to our Lord most glo­ri­ous

Rising ov­er Death vic­tor­ious

Lo! the win­ter is past!

Lo! the win­ter is past!
