This is the day when Jesus woke

From the deep slumbers of the tomb;

This is the day the Saviour broke

The bonds of fear and hopeless gloom.

This is indeed a holy day;

No longer may we dread to die.

Let every fear be cast away,

And tears be wiped from every eye.

Sorrow and pain the Saviour knew;

A dark and thorny path he trod;

But heaven was ever in his view,—

That toilsome path led up to God.

Let every heart rejoice and sing;

Let every sin and sorrow cease;

Let children come this day and bring

Their offering of love and peace.
