6459. Oh, Comfort Ye My People!

1 Oh comfort ye my people!
All sadness put away;
The bells from many a steeple
Ring in the Easter-day!

Refrain:
Then praise Him, ye people,
Praise Him, ye people all;
Then praise Him, ye people,
All people great and small.

2 Today the lilies springing
From winter’s gloom and cold,
Sweet bells of Easter, ringing,
Tell the glad song of old. [Refrain]

3 That Christ indeed is risen,
And all His saints shall rise,
Fair flowers from death’s cold prison
To bloom in Paradise. [Refrain]
