156. Hear the Glad Birds Sing

1 Hear the glad birds sing, thro’ the sunny dells,
Happy Easter’s here, happy Easter’s here;
To the bright blue sky sweet their music swells,
Happy Easter’s time is here.

Refrain:
Oh, the happy Easter time,
Oh, the joyous Easter time,
When the birds are singing gay;
When from every bush and tree,
Rings a note of victory,
For Christ arose today.

2 Loud the chorus rings, as they float away,
Happy Easter’s here, happy Easter’s here;
Praising him who rose on this holy day;
Happy Easter’s time is here. [Refrain]

3 Let us join the songs while the echoes roll,
Happy Easter’s here, happy Easter’s here;
Wake to life anew every heart and soul,
Happy Easter’s time is here. [Refrain]
