9913. Easter Flowers, Easter Carols

1 Easter flowers, Easter carols
Deck the altar, fill the air;
Glorious dawns the happy morning
O’er a world so bright and fair.

Refrain:
Alleluia, let us sing,
Alleluia to the King!

2 When the clouds of night were broken,
Angels rolled the stone away,
And on this bright Easter morning,
Sing we now the triumph lay. [Refrain]

3 In the mists of early morning,
Came the faithful to the tomb,
Angel guardians clad in white robes,
Sat there in the breaking gloom. [Refrain]

4 "He is risen!" thus the angel
Spake unto the faithful three,
"He is risen," wondrous story,
He has gone to Galilee. [Refrain]

4 Now the clouds of night are broken,
Mortals now the story tell,
"He is risen! Alleluia!"
Let the joyful anthem swell. [Refrain]
