Sing for Joy ‎#36

36. Good Joseph Had a Garden

1 Good Joseph had a garden;
Amid its trees so tall
The Lord Christ stood on Easter Day.
He lives to save us all.

2 And as he rose at Easter
He is alive for aye,
The very same Lord Jesus Christ
Who hears us sing today.

3 Go tell the Lord Christ's message,
The easter triumph sing.
Till all His waiting children know
That Jesus is their King
