The tfolden sun climbs up the sky.
The shadows flee away.
Oh! weary heart, fortfet to sigh:
God sends the Easter Day!
Long was that night, chill was the air.
And grief o'er brooded long.
Yet is the new world white and fair.
Uplift thine Easter song!
The cross that bowed thee with its weight
By strength of prayer is stirred.
Till It shall bear thee soon or late.
As wings upbear the bird.
The life that thrills from star to star.
And beats in leaf and stem.
Is wider than the heavens are.
And blesses thee from them.
Wert thou cast down ,wert thou dismayed.
Dear Child of One above.
Behold the earth in light arrayed;
The light of deathless love.
Oh! listen to the word that wakes
in every budding flower.
And take the bread the Master breaks,
In His triumphant hour.
For those who hear, and hearing yearn,
The King hath secrets sweet;
Their hearts within them thrill and burn.
They wait His coming feet.
Then swift the sun climbs up the sky!
The shadows flee away!
Oh! we ry heart, forget to sigh,
God sends the Easter Day!
