"The earth is the Lord's
and the fulness thereof"--
It speaks of His greatness
and sings of His love,
And the wonder and glory
of the first Easter morn,
Like the first Christmas night
when the Savior was born,
Are blended together
in symphonic splendor
And God with a voice
that is gentle and tender
Speaks to all hearts
attuned to His voice,
Bidding His listeners
to gladly rejoice,
For He who was born
to be crucified
Arose from the grave
to be glorified,
And the birds in the trees
and the flowers of spring
All join in proclaiming
this heavenly King.
