Now the earth, in joy awaking
From the sleep of winter drear,
Tells the story of His glory;
How He rose the Lord so dear.

Ev'ry soul sing alleluia;
Ev'ry heart be light and gay.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Hail this blessed Easter Day!

Children, come! With sweet rejoicing
Bless the Day our Lord arose;
While we're living ever giving
Praise to Christ who heals our woes.

Ev'ry soul sing alleluia;
Ev'ry heart be light and gay.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Hail this blessed Easter Day!
