Composer: | Lucy G. Stock |
1 Ring, sweet lily-bells, ring today,
Your joyous Easter chime;
"Christ, the Lord, is ris'n," you say,
At this glad Easter time.
Chorus:
"He is risen, he is risen,"
Sing the happy story;
"He is risen, he is risen,"
Christ the Lord of glory.
2 Sing, oh, birdies, sing loud and clear,
Your sweetest music sing;
Lift your voices far and near,
To greet our risen King. [Chorus]
3 Wake, gay butterfly, spread your wings,
'T is happy Easter day;
The lily-bell its message rings,
The birdie sings his lay. [Chorus]
4 Sing, ye children, your voices raise,
On this glad Easter morn;
Swell the chorus, sing and praise,
For Christ arose at dawn. [Chorus]
