8528. Beautiful Eastertide

1 O welcome, bright morning, we love thy sweet light,
For past is the darkness of sin’s bitter night;
We lift our glad voices in triumph today,
Our glorious Redeemer lives.

Refrain:
O beautiful Eastertide,
Thy wonderful message send far and wide;
O beautiful Eastertide,
We hail, thee, O joyous day.
O beautiful Eastertide,
Thy wonderful message send far and wide;
O beautiful Eastertide,
We love thy refulgent ray.

2 Rejoice! O ye Gentiles, that death is no more,
The grave’s dreadful triumph forever is o’er;
Shout! shout the glad anthem with voice loud and strong,
Our glorious Redeemer lives. [Refrain]

3 The day of rejoicing for mankind is here,
The grave, robbed of terror, no longer hath fear;
Then lift your glad voices in triumph today,
Our glorious Redeemer lives. [Refrain]
