14602. When Easter Comes

1 When Easter comes,
From heart and homes,
Let praises rise;
The strife is o’er,
Death rules no more;
The Lord is King!

2 On Christmas morn,
When Christ was born,
We sang for joy!
But now He reigns,
And higher strains
Our tongues employ.

3 O risen Lord,
O Light restored,
With quickening powers
Arise and shine!
Our life be Thine,
Since Thine is ours!
