Easter, Joyous Easter

Author: Flora Kirkland Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1300 First Line: Easter, joyous Easter, holy happy time Lyrics: 1. Easter, joyous Easter, holy happy time! Bells ring out their message, joy in every chime; Sweetly through their music, faint an echo swells, Voices seem to mingle with the bells. (Glad Easter bells.) Refrain Seek ye not the living here among the dead; Christ the Lord is risen, risen as He said; Blessèd reassurance, gone the weary night, Christ is risen! Easter breaks in floods of light! 2. Voices in a garden, near a rock-hewn tomb, Gracious heav’nly voices, cheering earth’s dark gloom; Voices from the glory, sent from thence to tell, Jesus lives again! Immanuel! (Immanuel!) [Refrain] 3. Other voices echo, through the Easter chime One above all others, speaks with pow’r sublime; Tender words of comfort, peace and love profound, O’er the world today His words resound. (His words resound.) [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Easter, joyous Easter, holy happy time]
