HYMN Lyrics Text: By The First Bright Easter | Easter Song

1. By he first bright Easter day.

When the stone was rolled away

By the glory round thee shed

At thy rising from the dead




King of glory, hear our cry

Make us soon thy joys to see,

Hear the loving litany

We Thy children, sing to Thee




2. By the joys of Magdalen

When she saw thee once again

By thy keys of might divine,

vested in St. Peter's arm.
