1 Every flower that blossoms fresh from moldy earth,
Sings of resurrection, whispers of new birth;
Every plant that, dying, seems to meet decay,
Only waits with patience for an Easter day.
2 Seeds of promise scattered over all the land
Spring of life and beauty, guided by God`s hand;
And our souls, more precious than all earth beside
Surely shall awaken at some Easter-tide.
3 Then let hearts and voices Easter carols sing—
Then let alleluias through the glad earth ring;
For our Christ has risen, and beyond the grave,
Over death and sorrow He is strong to save.
