Ensttetr, glad Easter, you have emptied the tomib Of the laird’s blessed body wrap ped there in gloom; The lilies rejoiee at the break of day, To find the great stone there has been rolled away, And Christ risen indeed. Easter, glad Easter, will wel come you aye; May we live to see you oft gla*ldpn our way With lilies that bring us the mess ages of love, Of Christ who is risen and lives now above For Christ i» risen indeed.
