1 O sad, sad soul, fling wide your doors,
And make your windows curtainless;
Strew odors on your silent floors,
And all your walls with lilies dress!
2 Throw open every somber place;
Roll every hindering stone away;
Let Easter sunshine gild your face,
And bless you with its warmth today!
3 Let friends renew each bygone hour;
Let children fling the world a kiss;
And every hand tie in some flower,
To crown a day so good as this!
4 And whether skies are sad or clear,
We’ll give the day to joy and song;
For since the Christ is surely here,
All things are right, and naught is wrong!
