The Hymnal ‎#558

558. Easter flowers are blooming bright

Easter flowers are blooming bright,
Easter skies pour radiant light:
Christ our Lord is risen in might,

520
Angels caroled this sweet lay,
When in manger rude he lay;
Now once more cast grief away,

He, then born to grief and pain,
Now to glory born again,
Calleth forth our gladdest strain,

As he riseth, rise we too,
Tune we heart and voice anew,
Offering homage glad and true,

Glory in the highest.

Amen.
