Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#46

46. The Buds are Bursting

1 The buds are bursting on the trees,
The earth awakes again,
The birds are singing out their glees,
For Christ again doth reign.
Awake, and Alleluias sing!
For death is slain and Christ is King.

Refrain:
Awake! and let the chorus swell,
With voice and harp and Easter bell.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 The garden’s agony is o’er,
The shades have pass’d away,
And out from heaven’s opened door
Now beams eternals day.
Awake, and Alleluias sing!
For death is slain and Christ is King. [Refrain]

3 Come let us all sweet blossoms bring
The risen Lord to greet,
And make our hearts an offering,
And lay them at his feet.
Awake, and Alleluias sing!
For death is slain and Christ is King. [Refrain]
