Easter Carol

The world is filled with gladness;
The bells of Easter ring;
Each pure white lily's waking,
To welcome infant spring.

Chorus.

Oh, dear little children, listen,
And hear what the glad bells say!
The sweetest chime they ever rang--
"Our Lord is risen to-day!"

II.

Birds are flying across the sky;
Their songs ring through the air;
They carol of the Father's love
He shows us everywhere.

Chorus.

Oh, dear little children, listen,
And hear what the birdlings say!
The sweetest song they ever sang--
"Our Lord is risen to-day!"
