Behold, the Easter-tide is here,
With Easter joy and bloom:
Behold, the stone is rolled away,
To show a conquered tomb.
Jesus is risen, as He said —
Risen in triumph from the grave I
Rejoice and sing on this Easter-tide —
Jesus is risen, mighty to save I
Behold, the vestures of the dead,
All folded back with care:
Behold, the dark and vacant tomb,
For Jesus is not there.
Jesus is risen, as He said —
Risen in triumph from the grave I
Rejoice and sing on this Easter-tide —
Jesus is risen, mighty to save I
Behold, He walks the earth again,
Exalted in His love:
Behold, the glory on His brow,
Reflected from above.
Jesus is risen, as He said —
Risen in triumph from the grave I
Rejoice and sing on this Easter-tide —
Jesus is risen, mighty to save I
Behold, the Easter-tide is here,
With Easter song and word:
Behold, amid these Easter gifts,
The triumph of the Lord.
Jesus is risen, as He said —
Risen in triumph from the grave I
Rejoice and sing on this Easter-tide —
Jesus is risen, mighty to save I
