Sing, God's Easter people, sing!
1 Sing, God's Easter people, sing!
For Jesus Christ of Nazareth
who shared our life and tasted death
has now been raised before the eyes
of his astonished witnesses.
Alleluia! (rpt.)
2 Sing, God's Easter people, sing!
First Mary with sweet spices came,
discovering the empty tomb.
At once she ran, no time to lose,
resolved to tell her friends the news.
Alleluia! (rpt.)
3 Sing, God's Easter people, sing!
Disciples John and Peter saw
the Lord lay in the grave no more;
and Thomas, later filled with doubt,
found disbelief turned inside out.
Alleluia! (rpt.)
4 Sing, God's Easter people, sing!
Give thanks! The Lord Christ holds death's keys;
stands in our midst, bestows his peace
and sends us, strengthened, to enfold
his scattered flock across the world.
Alleluia! (rpt.)
