What Easter Brings

lyricist: Emma Lent, 1900
Composer: Lincoln Hall

A light in the sky that is gold­en and clear

A sound of glad bells fall­ing sweet on the ear

A thrill of a bird from a sum­mer land come

A joy in the heart

and a song in the home.

O East­er

glad East­er! We greet thee again

And fain would for­get all our sor­row and pain

Gethsemane’s gar­den full well we have known

But now we look up to a con­quer­or’s throne.

A per­fume from ros­es and lil­ies full fair

An an­them of praise ring­ing out on the air

A balm to the hearts that by grief have been riv’n

A key to the grave

and a pro­mise of Heav’n.

Here par­don and peace for the heart we shall find

And so­lace for sor­row

and strength for the mind

For sure­ly and sure­ly our dead shall arise

When th’last East­er morn­ing gilds bright­ly the skies.
