9181. The Buds Are Bursting On The Trees

1 The buds are bursting on the trees,
The earth awakes again;
The birds are singing out their glees,
For Christ again doth reign.

Refrain:
Awake, and alleluias sing!
For death is slain and Christ is king.
Awake, awake, and let the chorus swell,
With voice and harp and Easter bell.

2 Come, let us all sweet blossoms bring
The risen Lord to greet,
And make our hearts an offering,
And lay them at His feet. [Refrain]

3 No longer death and hopeless gloom
Shall grieve our souls distressed;
For Christ has trodden, through the tomb,
A pathway for the blest. [Refrain]
