This is the day when Christ arose
So early from the dead,
Why should I keep my eyelids closed
And waste the hours in bed?
This is the day when Jesus broke
The power of death and hell;
And shall I still wear Satan’s yoke,
And love my sins so well?
Today with pleasure Christians meet
To pray and hear Thy Word,
And I would go with cheerful feet
To learn Thy Will, O Lord.
