O Earth, On Easter Morning

Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Earth, on Easter morning Refrain First Line: Lo, Christ the Lord is risen! Lyrics: 1 O Earth, on Easter morning All jubilantly sing, As on the dear Lord’s altar We lay the flowers of spring. They seemed to die in autumn, But lo, today they bloom; So Christ who died has risen In beauty from the tomb. Refrain: Lo, Christ the Lord is risen! O Earth, lift up thy voice In joy of Easter morning, The Savior lives: rejoice! 2 Behold, the grave is empty In which the Savior lay; O’er sin and death triumphant He lives in Heav’n today; And as our Savior liveth, We know that we shall live And share with Him the glory He promiseth to give. [Refrain] 3 All hail, Thou risen Savior! By Thy deserted tomb Faith stands and points us heav’nward Above earth’s grief and gloom. There in the spring of Heaven The soul’s white flower shall rise From out earth’s winter slumber And bloom in paradise.

The scars of deepest anguish Were lost in glory bright; I’ve seen the face of Jesus— It was a wondrous sight! Refrain: Oh! glorious face of beauty, Oh, gentle touch of care; If here it is so blessèd, What will it be up there? 2 And since I’ve seen His beauty All else I count but loss; The world, its fame and pleasure, Is now to me but dross; His light dispelled my darkness, His smile was, oh, so sweet! I’ve seen the face of Jesus— I can but kiss His feet. [Refrain] 3 I’ve heard the voice of Jesus— He told me of His love; And called me His own treasure, His undefiled, His dove. It came like softest music Across an ocean calm, And seemed to play so sweetly Some wondrous holy psalm. [Refrain] 4 I felt the hand of Jesus— My brow it throbbed with care— He placed it there so softly, And whispered Do not fear. Like clouds before the sunshine, My cares have rolled away; I’m sitting in His presence— It is a cloudless day. [Refrain] 5 I know He’s coming shortly To take us all above; We’ll sing redemption’s story The story of His love; We’ll hear His voice of music, We’ll feel His hand of care; He’ll never rest, He says so, Until He has us there.

When Children Lift Their Voices

Author: Moses Teggart Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, the King of glory! Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the King of glory! O great and mighty King! The pilgrim old and hoary, May tribute to Thee bring; Manhood with harvest laden May matrons lead to see Each glowing youth and maiden Their gleanings bring to Thee. But that which most rejoices Thee and the host above, Is when children lift their voices, And sing the Savior’s love. 2 O Lord, the King of glory! O great and mighty King! The hills, tho’ old and hoary, May clap their hands and sing; The wandering waves of ocean May sway to music sweet; The darkest world’s devotion May Thy approval meet. But that which most rejoices Thee and the host above, Is when children lift their voices, And sing the Savior’s love. 3 O Lord, the King of glory! O great and mighty King! The stars may tell their story, The heav’nly choirs may sing; The elders Thee adoring May kneel before the throne; Cherub and seraph soaring May chant the praise Thine own. But that which most rejoices Thee and the host above, Is when children lift their voices, And sing the Savior’s love. 4 O Lord, the King of glory! O great and mighty King! We love to hear the story Of Him to whom we cling; Still in His arms He raises And smiles as once He smiled, On all who sing Thy praises, As sings a little child. For that which most rejoices Thee and the host above, Is when children lift their voices, And sing the Savior’s love. Used With Tune: KITSAP Text Sources: Carols of Hope by Clarence M.
