’Tis Easter time, glad Easter time,
Let all the joy-bells ring;
Come, tell again the story old,
Of Christ, the risen King.

Refrain

All hail glad day, all hail glad day,
For Jesus lives! He lives!
As on that first bright Easter morn,
His joy and peace He gives.

Let children sing with happy hearts,
For Jesus loves their song;
They too may praise the risen Lord
With all the joyful throng.

Refrain

The story old is ever new,
We tell it o’er and o’er;
And each returning Easter day,
We love it more and more.
