Tune: Gelobt Sei Gott (Praise the Lord)
(\'Christ is the King, O friends rejoice\')
***********
Trees you have now burst forth in green
Leaves now found where had barren been
From your Winter, Spring-time now seen
Alleluia! Alleluia, Alleluia!
Lambs skip for joy, you rams and ewes
Signs of new life and country viws
And hope of the gospel, good news
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Show forth you flowers, grace-carpet
The Lord continue faithful yet
To bless the seasons, not forget
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Showers to refresh, dew\'s blessing
To quench land\'s thirst, reach everything
And too bright days, sunshine you bring
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Inspire our hearts where locked within
And do renew us, cleanse from sin
So we fresh praises shall begin
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Pleasant times too through valley we
Can know, and still you good hand see
Good of man to man done freely
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Restrain the evil, Lord you reign
Victor o\'er death, never again
Shall you die, your light shines unfeign
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
