Smiling, wonderful, and wise. 2 Failure cuts the way to triumph, Winter shapes the leaves of spring; Easter came because the Master Loved the light of truth to bring. Vainly priests in hatred slew Him: He came back, His loved ones knew Him, Alleluia, Alleluia! Where, O death, is now thy sting? 3 Lord, in Thee shines man's perfection— Kind and selfless, strong, and brave; And Thy life and resurrection Tells of joy beyond the grave. All mankind is nobled thro' Thee; All are brothers coming to Thee, Alleluia, Alleluia! Thine the power to guide and save. Amen.
