EASTER DAY."Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more,—Death hath no more dominion over him."

Of Christ our risen Lord;
Put off the sack-cloth, weep no more,
Let no complaint be heard
On Easter Day.
Great day! the Resurrection morn
Breaks through the Christless night,
Lift up your hearts from out the gloom,
The Lord has risen! Light!
On Easter day.
Breaks through the Christless night,
Lift up your hearts from out the gloom,
The Lord has risen! Light!
On Easter day.
Aye—strange that e'en a flower should bloom,
Or green grass live to wave,
Strange that a bird could joyous sing,
When Christ was in the grave
'Ere Easter Day.
Or green grass live to wave,
Strange that a bird could joyous sing,
When Christ was in the grave
'Ere Easter Day.
