Poems (Clark)/Easter Carol

by Annie Maria Lawrence Clark

EASTER CAROL

The Lord is risen,—this the song
 The happy angels sing;—
The Lord is risen,—through the world
 Let the glad tidings ring.

The Lord is risen,—all the earth
 Feels the awakening breath;—
The Lord is risen,—ever more
 Life triumphs over death.

The Lord is risen,—birds and flowers
 The blessed news proclaim;—
The Lord is risen,—honor, praise
 And glorify His name.
