Lo, the Earth Is Risen Again

Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo, the earth is risen again From the winter's bond and pain! Bring we leaf and flower and spray To adorn our holiday. 2 Once again the word comes true, Lo, he maketh all things new. Now the dark cold days are over, Light and gladness are before. 3 How our hearts leap with the spring! How our spirits soar and sing! Light is victor over gloom, Life triumphant o'er the tomb. 4 Change, then, mourning into praise, And, for dirges, anthems raise! All our fears and griefs shall be Lost in immortality.

See, He shows the prints of love! Hark, His gracious lips bestow Blessings on His church below! 5 Still for us His death He pleads, Prevalent, He intercedes, Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 6 There we shall with Thee remain, Partners of Thy endless reign, There Thy face unclouded see, Find our heaven of heavens in Thee.
