EASTER JOYOU S 2 Tim. 1 :10 By DR. J. H. SAMMIS ASTER joyous! Easter bright! Birth of day and death of night;- Hail! thy glorious prophecy; Hail! the Easter yet to be. Christ avenged our ancient wrong, Death! to death and all its throng. Man is deathless! Raise the song,
“ Life and immortality!” Easter joyous! Easter bright! Birth of day and death of night; Man is risen from the dead; Death and Hell are captive led; Death and Hell, ye twain accurst; Death and Hell, your bands are burst; Christ is risen, Christ the first Life and immortality! Ho! ye mourners; Oh, ye tears; Faith and Hope; it nears, it nears— Watch and wait, ye hearts that weep; Rest in peace; ye loved that sleep; Soon the Lord of life shall doom Death and darkness and the tomb; Then, on all His saints shall bloom Life and immortality!
