The love­ly spring has come again,
From sun­light skies des­cend­ed;
The earth awakes to life and joy,
Cold wint­er`s reign is end­ed.
The blos­som­ing trees and flow­er­ets fair,
With birds whose car­ols fill the air,
Sing Christ is ris­en! Christ is aris­en!
’Tis East­er day!

Awake, my soul! to thee the spring
Doth bring its mes­sage ver­nal;
Awake from gloom, from sloth and sin,
To life and joy eter­nal!
O’er self and wrong the vic­to­ry win,
A new and bet­ter life be­gin;
Sing Christ is ris­en! Christ is aris­en!
’Tis East­er day!

With lil­ies white and blos­soms rare
Our tem­ple courts adorn­ing,
We keep the soul’s high fes­tiv­al
This re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing.
O van­quished death, where is thy sting?
O grave, in vain thy tri­um­phing!
Sing Christ is ris­en! Christ is aris­en!
’Tis East­er day!
