Sweet Easter-Time

Hail

glo­ri­ous East­er! beau­ti­ful time of spring!

Cold win­ter is end­ed

song birds be­gin to sing.

Hail

morn­ing of tri­umph! wel­come we sing to thee!

Christ is al­ive

of­fer­ing li­ber­ty.

Sweet East­er-time

time so sub­lime

Welcome we sing to thee

Glad day of li­ber­ty.

Sweet East­er-time

ring

bells

and chime;

Welcome with car­ols of glad­ness

Sweet East­er-time.

Hail

glo­ri­ous East­er! morn­ing of joy and light!

Christ Je­sus is vic­tor

gone is the drea­ry night.

Sin’s fet­ters are brok­en

death has aside been hurled;

Christ is al­ive

rea­dy to save the world.

Hail

glo­ri­ous East­er! glad­ness we have to spare;

Sweet carols to Je­sus speed on the morn­ing air.

Hail

time of re­joic­ing! wel­come we sing to thee!

Christ is al­ive

sin fet­tered hearts to free.
