15580. Over The Land In Glory

1 Over the land in glory
Breaketh the Easter morn.
Nature repeateth her story—
Life out of death newborn.
Lo, the year’s at the spring,
Buds are blossoming,
Earth and heavens sing;
Life is life forever, forevermore.

2 Listen, the birds are singing,
Singing on Easter morn;
Bells in the steeples ringing
Welcome the festal morn;
And the message they bear
On the radiant air,
Chides sorrow and fear,
Life is life forever, forevermore.

3 Skies of the spirit brighten,
Hopes like the birds return;
Hearts with the promise lighten—
“Blessèd are they that mourn.”
To each winter a spring
God will surely bring,
And the heart shall sing,
Life is life forever, forevermore.
