The Easter Sunshine Breaks Again

The East­er sun­shine breaks again

On all the sin­ful earth

More glo­ri­ous than the star­lit morn

We sang at Je­sus’ birth!

We’ve watched be­side our Sav­ior’s cross

We’ve sor­rowed at His grave;

But now He’s brok­en death’s dark bands

Our Je­sus

strong to save!

Fair blos­soms on the East­er morn

Fling forth their frag­rance sweet

And tell of re­sur­rect­ion joy

And Je­sus’ work com­plete!

But fair­er still the of­fer­ing

Each lov­ing heart should bring

Of faith and love and pe­ni­tence

To Christ

its ris­en king.

So on this glo­ri­ous East­er day

Our glad­some songs we raise

And ec­ho e’en to Heav­en’s gates

Our hap­py notes of praise!

For He who died is ris­en again

The Life

the Truth

the Way!

Sing on

ye hap­py Christ­ian hearts

The Lord is ris­en to­day.

Sing on

ye hap­py Christ­ian hearts

The Lord is ris­en to­day.
