O glorious Easter morning!
O day of peace and light!
One precious name adorning
With lilies pure and white.
A gladsome message bringing
Of love that knows no fear;
The sweetest anthem singing,
'The risen Christ is here.'

He comes with gifts of healing
For wonded hearts that moan;
A sunlit path revealing,
A world with pain unknown.
He comes with life eternal,
With hope, and joy, and peace;
O happiness supernal,
When want and woe shall cease!

He gave His life for others,
Alike for you and me;
He counts us as His brothers,
All one, nor bond nor free.
The bands of sin are broken;
The poor and the oppressed
Hear the sweet gospel spoken,
'Come unto me and rest.'

O glorious Easter morning!
O day of peace and light!
One precious name adorning
With lilies pure and white.
A gladsome message bringing
Of love that knows no fear;
The sweetest anthem singing,
'The risen Christ is here.'
