Author: Thomas Blackburne Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8783 First Line: Awake, thou wintry earth! Lyrics: 1 Awake, thou wintry earth!
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
Christ is risen!
2 Wave, woods, your blossoms all,
Grim Death is dead!
Ye weeping funeral trees,
Lift up your head!
Christ is risen!
3 Come, see the graves are green;
In light, we go
Where now our loved ones rest
In hope below.
Christ is risen!
4 All is fresh and new,
Full of spring and light:
Cold heart, why wearest hue
Of sleep and night?
Christ is risen!
5 Leave thy cares beneath;
Leave thy worldly love;
Begin the better life
With God above!
Christ is risen! Languages: English Tune Title: [Awake, thou wintry earth]
Awake, Thou Wintry Earth
