158. This is Easter Morn

1 Light is streaming from above,
Earth is filled with peace and love,
This is Easter morn.
Haste the joyful news to spread,
Christ is risen from the dead—
This is Easter morn.

Refrain:
All hail! Christ, the Lord, is risen!
All hail! Heaven’s King adorn!
All hail! We are risen with him;
This is blessed Easter morn.

2 How can mortal hearts be sad?
Heaven bids us all be glad,
This is Easter morn.
Our Redeemer lives again,
Sing the everlasting strain;
This is Easter morn. [Refrain]

3 Not in Palestine alone,
Has the Easter glory shone;
This is Easter morn.
Over all our land so dear,
Rings the anthem loud and clear,
This is Easter morn. [Refrain]

4 Easter is not long ago,
For within our hearts, we know,
This is Easter morn.
Christ has washed our sins away,
Risen in our hearts today,
This is Easter morn. [Refrain]
