Carols for Easter-Tide | ||
XIII. Let the merry church bells ring.
1
Let the merry church bells ring,Hence with tears and sighing;
Frost and cold have fled from Spring,
Life hath conquered dying:
Flowers are smiling, fields are gay,
Sunny is the weather;
With our rising Lord to-day
All things rise together.

2
Let the birds sing out againFrom their leafy chapel,
Praising Him, with Whom in vain
Satan sought to grapple:
Sounds of joy come fast and thick,
As the breezes flutter;
Resurrexit, non est hic,
Is the strain they utter.
3
Let the past of grief be past;This our comfort giveth,
He was slain on Friday last,
But to-day He liveth:
Mourning heart must needs be gay,
Nor let sorrow vex it;
Since the very grave can say,
Christus resurrexit.
