Brighter Are The Sunbeams

Brighter are the sunbeams on this day,

O rejoice, heart and voice!

Sweeter buds unfolding by the way,

Telling of the quick'ning life of spring;

Bright sunbeams tell out the story

Of the Easter joy and glory,

And winter's gone-cold and hoary,

All hail our Victor King.

Refrain

Hallelujah to our Victor King!

"Go your way," angels say;

Over hill and valley, tidings bring;

The Savior lives for us today.

Hear the message from the leafy bough;

Robins sing, bluebells ring;

Every bud and blossom tells us now

Jesus rose triumphant o'er the grave;

Oh, seek the Lord, though in sorrow,

From the garden gladness borrow,

For after night dawns the morrow;

He cometh forth to save.

Refrain

O, the happy springtime of the soul;

Shadows go, lilies blow;

Jesus makes the wounded spirit whole;

Love is blooming, singing in the heart;

For hope's bright morn is awaking,

Night is passing, day is breaking,

And Christ, His own ne'er forsaking,

Bids every fear depart.

Refrain
