On Easter day the Savior rose

Representative Text

1 On Easter day the Savior rose,
Sing aloud ye children all.
Everywhere the lily grows,
And bells to worship call.

Refrain:
Happy, holy Easter Day,
Christ is ris’n, the angels say,
Blessings with us alway,
O happy Easter Day!
Easter day the Savior rose,
Sing aloud ye children all.
Everywhere the lily grows,
And bells to worship call.

2 The little flowers all around
Lift their tiny heads again;
Snows are melted from the ground,
And life decks hill and plain. [Refrain]

3 The birds their grateful songs employ,
Him they praise, both great and small;
Every bird and flower and leaf—
He giveth life to all. [Refrain]
