Sing We Now Our Hymns of Gladness

Sing we now our hymns of glad­ness

On this hap­py East­er morn;

Sing of life

the life im­mor­tal

Life that out of death is born.

Sing

sing

child­ren

sing!

Sing of life im­mor­tal

Bring

bring flow­ers of spring

To the tem­ple’s por­tal!

Death is con­quered

and we con­quer

When to ho­ly life we rise—

That is life

and life im­mor­tal

That the life which nev­er dies.

Strong

strong

lift your song

Beautiful and glo­ri­ous;

Rise

rise

earth has ris­en

Risen to life vic­tor­ious!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Life again from death is born—

Thus we sing our hymn of glad­ness

On this hap­py East­er morn.

Sing

sing

child­ren sing!

Sing of life im­mortal;

Bring

bring flow­ers of spring

To the tem­ple’s por­tal!
