'Twas A Bluebird Told The Story

Author: Kate L. Brown Hymnal: CYBER #15576 First Line: ’Twas a bluebird told the story Refrain First Line: 87.87 D Lyrics: 1 ’Twas a bluebird told the story, On his way from Heav’n this morn, As he paused beneath my window, ’Mong the blossoms of the thorn: Hark! to you I bear the story, Weary ones who wake with pain, Christ indeed, indeed is risen, Doubting ones, He lives again! 2 It was starlight soft and tender, Yet the east was flushed with rose, And the weary world was waking From the calm of its repose. I could hear that wondrous message Whispered softly o’er the plain, Till the lily bells were chiming, Christ is ris’n! He lives again! 3 ’Twas a bluebird told the story, On his way from Heav’n this morn, As he paused beneath my window, ’Mong the blossoms of the thorn. Oh, that message, sweet and holy! Tirèd souls, forget your pain; Christ indeed for you is risen, Doubting hearts, He lives again! Languages: English Tune Title: ASCHAFFENBURG

Freedom I Bring

Author: Edward Augustus Horton Hymnal: CYBER #15577 First Line: Warm over the skies the sunshine lies Lyrics: 1 Warm over the skies the sunshine lies, The birds and buds are here; Valley and hill with rapture thrill As lovely spring draws near. Each little brook, with happy look, Goes singing to the sea; Now winter’s fierce hand withdraws from the land, The fields once more are freed. 2 From sleeping in dark, the rootlets hark To hear the south winds blow; Out of the mould, away from the cold, The grass begins to grow. Now on the streams the golden beams Of warmer days appear; O lovely spring, what joy you bring The Easter time is here. 3 "Now freedom I bring", says joyous Spring, "’Tis freedom for you today; Rise to the light, as day from night, For death has passed away. Freedom I bring, and bid ye sing, Of Him who loveth all; Rise, happy hearts, for night departs, O hear the Easter call." Languages: English Tune Title: [Warm over the skies the sunshine lies]

The Shining Sea

Author: James Vila Blake Hymnal: CYBER #15583 First Line: Standing on the shore at morning Lyrics: 1 Standing on the shore at morning, I beheld the shining sea— Saw the wreathing vapors mounting Into Heaven silently; Silently, silently, Silently, silently, from the sea. 2 Standing on the hill at evening, Clouds stoopped gently over me, Softly from the west ascending, And the rain fell silently; Silently, silently, Silently, silently, over me. 3 So, I cried, my spirit’s incense Sure returneth unto me; Upward breathing, falls in blessing, From our Father silently. Silently, silently, Silently, silently, unto me. 4 So my life upstriving, soaring, Were nor eye nor tho’t can see; Comes again descending on me, Filled with immortality. Silently, silently, Silently, silently, unto me. 5 And the bliss of hope awakens; Earth and sky I clearer see; And I carol, in my gladness, Easter hymns and melody. Joyfulness, hopefulness, Joyfulness, hopefulness, filleth me. Languages: English Tune Title: [Standing on the shore at morning]
