Upon this Easter morning
A brighter day is dawning
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
The grave stands wide and open
The bonds of death are broken
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
For Christ from out the tomb
Stands in the Upper Room
Fa-la -la-la-la, Fa-la-la-la-la, alleluia.
When Mary sees her Master
Our sorrow turns to laughter
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
So when she turns to greet Him
We go with her to meet Him
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
She sees her Risen Lord
The sign of joy outpoured.
Fa-la -la-la-la, Fa-la-la-la-la, alleluia.
Disciples walk in sadness
Their road is turned to gladness
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
He joins them at the table
His rising is no fable
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
They see Him break the bread
And know He is not dead
Fa-la -la-la-la, Fa-la-la-la-la, alleluia.
All Hea-ven joins our voices
The Church with us rejoices
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
So join our celebration
In songs of jubilation
Fa-la-la-la, alleluia, fa-la-la, alleluia.
Christ lives for us today
Is here with us to stay
Fa-la -la-la-la, Fa-la-la-la-la, alleluia.
