On Easter Day the Savior Rose

On East­er day the Sav­ior rose

Sing aloud ye child­ren all.

Everywhere the li­ly grows

And bells to wor­ship call.

Happy

ho­ly East­er Day

Christ is ris’n

the an­gels say

Blessings with us al­way

O hap­py East­er Day!

[repeat verse

start­ing at se­cond word]

The lit­tle flow­ers all around

Lift their ti­ny heads again;

Snows are melt­ed from the ground

And life decks hill and plain.

The birds their grate­ful songs em­ploy

Him they praise

both great and small;

Every bird and flow­er and leaf—

He giv­eth life to all.
