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.
