First lines

(Written for music to be sung at a parish industrial exhibition)

See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose.

Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping, Burst at last from winter snows.

Earth with heaven above rejoices; Fields and gardens hail the spring; Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices, While the wild birds build and sing.
