 Easter Morn. 
 
 Hark ! to Easter voices : — 
 
 " Christ is risen I " 
 Earth and Heaven rejoices : — 
 
 "Clirist is risen ! " 
 
 All nature's voices sina; 
 
 On hill and plain ; 
 Let every living; thinji 
 
 Join the refrain. 
 
 Rapture fills all the earth ; 
 
 Glory the sky : 
 Life has a second birth. 
 
 And Death shall die. 
 
 Sweet these Kaster voices : — 
 
 " Christ is risen \ " 
 Earth and Heaven rejoices : — 
 
 " Christ is risen ! " 
 
 " Christ is risen ! " O sing 1 
 
 " Mighty to save ! " 
 (J Death where is thy sting ? 
 
 Thy victory, Grave ? 
 
 Sing I sing this tiimnph given 
 
 To suflering love ! 
 'Tis the " New Song " in heaven ; 
 
 Join them above. 
 
 In this glad song rejoice, 
 
 O burdened heart ! 
 Wake ! every silent voice. 
 
 And bear a part. 
 
 Come, O tliou Holy Dove I 
 
 With promised power; 
 Crown with Tliy tender love, 
 
 This joyful hour. 
 
 To Him let love l)e given. 
 
 Whose name is Love, 
 Till Karth responds to Heaven, 
 
 Love ! (inly Love. 
 
 Let blinded eyes behold 
 
 This Easter light, 
 .\nd hearts now hard and cold, 
 
 Melt at the sight. 
 
 Let hearts estranged, — hate riven, — 
 
 Touched from al)()ve, — 
 Forgive, and be forgiven. 
 
 Through love, — pure love. 
 
 Joy-giving Easter morn, 
 
 I'hy lilies white, 
 Emlilem the life to dawn 
 
 In love and light. 
 
 List to Easter voices .' 
 
 " Christ is risen! " 
 Earth with Heaven rejoices : — 
 " Christ is risen ! "
