Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16558 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D First Line: Past is Lenten sadness Lyrics:
1 Past is Lenten sadness,
Past the time to weep;
All the earth is waking
From her winter sleep.
In this happy springtide,
Sweet the birds that sing;
Sweeter children’s voices,
Praising Christ the King.
2 To the cross of Jesus
Late did we repair;
All those sins lamenting
Which had nailed Him there;
To the grave with Mary,
Hasten we this morn,
Where our Lord was resting,
Till the early dawn.
3 Yes, He rose victorious,
Over death and sin;
We must rise and conquer
All that’s wrong within;
We must rise each morning,
With our sins forgiv’n,
Rising with our Savior,
Daily nearer Heav’n.
4 Then, when life is ended,
And our work is done,
All the rough road traveled,
All the victory won,
We shall rise in glory,
With our risen Lord,
Who, with God the Father
And the Spir’t adored.
