The Dawn of Easter.

In purity and beauty
| All lonely hearts L" cheer.
oh, glorious dawn Of Easter.
| That morning long ago,
When from ths dead our Lord arose,
l. And conquered every foe;
The sun in golden splCndor.
l. Would burst through clouds of niobt
And old Earth. would seem fairer,
| In this its brighter liSht.
All, list the angelic chorus.
With harps of golden strings,
And all those saints of ages.
| How Heavens arches ring.
Now hear those glad hosannas,
| Resounding from the throne
"'Tis paid the glorious ransom,
Come home, my son. come home"
Oh glad the dawn Of Easter morn.
| The gladdeSt of the year,
Our Lord indeed is risen.
| Rcioce, and never fear,
| With angels. Join your voices
| His praises now To sing
He ever lives, who once was dead.
| Our risen Lord and King.
