Oh, beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful East­er,
What joy to us you bring!
What plea­sures sweet, when here we meet,
To praise our ris­en king!

Refrain

Easter! East­er!
Beautiful, beau­ti­ful East­er!
Day so dear, so full of cheer,
And hap­pi­ness and love!
Easter! East­er!
Beautiful, beau­ti­ful East­er!
Christians, raise your sweet­est praise
To God above.

No sad­ness now lin­gers around us,
For all the world looks bright;
And glad eyes glow, wher­e’er we go,
With bless­èd East­er light.

Refrain

The song­birds are joy­ous­ly sing­ing,
And bells make mer­ry rhyme;
Yes, all things say or sing to­day,
’Tis glad­some East­er-time.

Refrain

Oh, glo­ri­ous Sav­ior, Thy prais­es
Today our souls em­ploy,
For Thou dost live again to give
This time of light and joy.
