Bells of Easter

1 Sunshine has scattered the gloom,
Awake! Awake!
Lilies are breathing perfume,
While shadows the skies now forsake.

Refrain:
Bells of Easter are ringing,
Sweetly ringing;
Dawn in beauty is bringing
Eastertide.
List, the echoes are stealing,
Softly stealing;
Bells of Easter are pealing
Far and wide.

2 Hearts that were heavy rejoice,
Awake! Awake!
List to each jubilant voice,
For dawn in its glory doth break! [Refrain]

3 Gladness is filling the world,
Awake! Awake!
Banners of hope are unfurled,
Let all in the rapture partake. [Refrain]
