Author: Lucy Larcom, 1824-1893 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Breaks the joyful Easter dawn Lyrics: 1 Breaks the joyful Easter dawn, Clearer yet and stronger; Winter from the world has gone, Death shall be no longer! Far away good angels drive Night and sin and sadness; Earth awakes in smiles, alive With her dear Lord’s gladness. 2 Roused by Him from dreary hours, Under snowdrifts chilly— In His hands He brings the flowers, Brings the rose and lily. Every little buried bud Into life He raises; Every wildflower of the wood Chants the dear Lord’s praises. 3 Open, happy flowers of spring, For the Sun has risen! Through the sky glad voices ring, Calling you from prison. Little children dear, look up! Toward His brightness pressing, Lift up every heart, a cup For the dear Lord’s blessing.
