Sing for Joy ‎#43

43. The Lark Sings Loud

The lark sings loud this Easter morn,
"Rejoice now Christ is risen."
The blackbird answers with his flute,
"Rejoice now Christ is risen!"
The swallow calls beneath the eaves,
"Rejoice now Christ is risen."
Men sing anew their song of hope,
"Rejoice now Christ is risen."
And ev'ry thing gives back the cry,
"Rejoice now Christ is risen!"
