EASTER MORN.
Christ arose on Easter morn,
We must all him adorn,
Ey our songs of love and praise,
As our voice in tune we raise.
Hark 1 the Easter carols ring
Far away across the plain,
Hear the little children sing,
As they sang upon the moan.
Christ then from the dead aroee,
At the time the lilies blow,
When the sea in deep repose
Rolled round the ocean coves.
Listen sinners 1 gentle Jesus,
He has breathed eternal breethj
And at Easter we remember
All about his cruel death.
Christ has risen the angels sing,
Risen from the tomb they say,
Christ has risen the bells do ring
On this happy Easter Day.
Let us sing this wondrous Story,
Christ is risen from the tomb,
Let us for our sins be sorry
And escape an awful doom.
