Tune: Easter Hymn
(\'Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!\')
\'Alleluia!\' after every line.

Earthquake! Risen from the tomb
In each heart make for Him room
Stone rolled away, tomb empty
Christ living, for all to see
Easter message unto all
Who will hear His gracious call
Salvation through Christ the Son
He redemption\'s work has done
Eggs containing chicks do hatch
Chocolate yummies, they do match
They do show forth here life new
Bunnies, fertility too!
Bright bonnets display colours
To season\'s light each refers
Feast and fun and merriment
True joys the Lord has us sent
Christ, vicarious He be
Our substitutionary
The atonement has He made
For sins of the world has paid
Love and light and life here be
For all folk and ages, He
The Saviour, now Lord on high
Ever nevermore to die
Yet not remote, comes to dwell
By His Spirit, we may tell
In our hearts, new covenant
[The] Father through Christ has Him sent

I shall not here add water!
To your whisky, but concur
To raise undiluted fare
At such great feast, all may share
Bring me sherry, not too much
I shall only swoon if such
Porkie pies and slice of cake
Pot of tea, content I take!
