Text: | Lo, the Earth Awakes Again |
Author: | Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 |
Tune: | EASTER HYMN |
1 Lo, the earth is risen again – Alleluia!
from the winter’s bond and pain. Alleluia!
Bring we leaf and flower and spray – Alleluia!
to adorn this happy day. Alleluia!
2 Once again the word comes true, Alleluia!
All the earth shall be made new. Alleluia!
Now the dark, cold days are o’er, Alleluia!
Spring and gladness leap before. Alleluia!
3 Change, then, mourning into praise, Alleluia!
And, for dirges, anthems raise. Alleluia!
How our spirits soar and sing, Alleluia!
How our hearts leap with the spring! Alleluia!
