Sweetly the birds are sing­ing
At East­er dawn;
Sweetly the bells are ring­ing
On East­er morn;
And the tid­ings they bring,
Bells, and song­sters that sing,
Are, Christ the Lord is ris­en,
Christ the Lord is ris­en.

Refrain

Hallelujah!
Glory hal­le­lu­jah!
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Amen.

Sweetest of flow­ers were grow­ing,
Ages ago;
Lilies for East­er bloom­ing
White as the snow;
And all na­ture was glad,
Not a crea­ture was sad,
For Christ the Lord is ris­en,
Christ the Lord is ris­en.

Refrain

Jesus has ris­en to glo­ry
To live and reign;
Tell it in song and sto­ry,
Over again;
He’s the light of the world,
See His ban­ner un­furled;
So, Christ the Lord is ris­en,
Christ the Lord is ris­en.

Refrain
