Welcome, Easter Day

Rifts of blue are gleam­ing

Through the clouds of gray

Streams again are hast­en­ing

On their sea­ward way;

Silence turns to sing­ing

Gloom is swept away;

Welcome

hap­py East­er!

Welcome

East­er Day!

Easter

East­er

Day of life and light!

All things with re­joic­ing

Hail thy com­ing bright!

Easter

East­er

With glad pro­mise rife

Telling out the sto­ry

Of a ris­en life!

’Tis no time for sad­ness!

’Tis no time for gloom!

Nature’s world is ra­di­ant

In a robe of bloom!

Life and joy tri­umph­ant

Rise from sor­row’s tomb!

Welcome

hap­py East­er!

Welcome

East­er Day!

Join in glad re­joic­ing!

Dark des­pair has flown!

Death is cap­tive tak­en!

Hail the Ris­en One!

Silence reigns no long­er!

Joy is on the throne!

Welcome

hap­py East­er!

Welcome

East­er Day!
