16562. Coming From The Winter

1 Coming from the win­ter,
Into hap­py spring,
To our ris­en Sav­ior
Easter songs we bring.

Refrain:
Happy, hap­py spring­time,
Happy East­er Day;
Jesus Christ is ris­en,
And He lives for aye.

2 Gentle lit­tle flow­ers,
Strong to cleave the sod,
Tell of Jesus ris­ing,
Gentle Son of God. [Refrain]

3 Trees that bud and blos­som,
At the warm spring’s breath
Tell us life is great­er—
Greater far—than death. [Refrain]

4 To our hearts this mes­sage
Easter Day should give—
They who trust in Je­sus
Shall not die, but live. [Refrain]

5 Not to cold, dark win­ter
Shall our foot­steps tend,
But to that bright sum­mer
Which shall nev­er end. [Refrain]
