The bless­èd East­er comes again,
The holy Sab­bath dawn­ing,
With an­thems sweet we come to greet,
The re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing.

Refrain

Hail the day! hail the day!
Sing with joy and mirth;
Flowers fair, ev­ery­where,
Gladness fills the earth.
He is ris­en from the grave,
He is ris’n, the world to save,
Hail the day, hail the day,
Hail the East­er day!

We meet with­in the house of praise,
With flow’rs for its ad­orn­ing,
And glad­ly sing, to Him, our king,
This re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing.

Refrain

As all the won­der of His love
Within our hearts is dawn­ing,
We’ll live with care, that we may share
His re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing.
