Oh com­fort ye my peo­ple!
All sad­ness put away;
The bells from ma­ny a stee­ple
Ring in the East­er-day!

Refrain

Then praise Him, ye peo­ple,
Praise Him, ye peo­ple all;
Then praise Him, ye peo­ple,
All peo­ple great and small.

Today the li­lies spring­ing
From win­ter’s gloom and cold,
Sweet bells of East­er, ring­ing,
Tell the glad song of old.

Refrain

That Christ in­deed is ris­en,
And all His saints shall rise,
Fair flow­ers from death’s cold pri­son
To bloom in pa­ra­dise.
