1 ’Tis Easter time, and gentle spring
Bursts forth from winter’s icy prison;
All nature smiles and seems to sing,
Rejoice, rejoice, for Christ is ris’n.
Refrain:
I’m singing too, I’m singing too,
A joyful, happy thankful lay;
I’m singing too, I’m singing too,
For Christ arose this Easter day.
2 Through meadows bright with blossoms gay,
The brook unfettered glides along,
Its rippling waters seem to say,
O listen to my Easter song. [Refrain]
3 The happy birds in every tree
Break forth in one triumphant chord
And sing in sweetest melody,
Their praises to the risen Lord. [Refrain]
