Bloom to praise the heav’nly King;
Let the joyful news be spread,
Christ is risen from the dead.

Ever living, loving Friend,
Now to Thee our songs ascend;
Make us pure in heart, that we
May the heav’nly vision see.
2 Empty now the Savior’s tomb,
Light is shining through the gloom;
He is living evermore
On the bright eternal shore. [Refrain]

Walking with us by the way;
May our hearts within us burn,
While still more of Thee we learn. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYN
