16539. Bright Easter Day

1 Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!
Day on which our Lord arose;
Chase all the clouds of doubt away,
Christ has tri­umphed o’er our foes.

Refrain:
Jesu Chris­te, Al­le­lu­ia!
Jesu Chris­te, Al­le­lu­ia!
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!
Jesu Christe, Al­le­lu­ia!
Alleluia!

2 Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!
Day of days the ve­ry best:
Lift up thine eyes, poor soul, to­day,
Christ has con­quered—thou shalt rest. [Refrain]

3 Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!
Songs of joy to­day we raise,
Glad songs to cheer our on­ward way,
Songs of love, and songs of praise. [Refrain]

4 Bright East­er Day! Dear East­er Day!
Lord, Thy day of pow­er, this:
We praise in song, in song we pray,
May our souls par­take Thy bliss. [Refrain]
