Oh! Blessed Easter Day
Oh! Blessed day of Easter, it was our Jesus' rebirth!
We exalt Your name, Jesus, here this day on Earth.
Oh! Blessed day it was when You rose for us, Lord!
By Your love for us though Your blood was poured.

That was the day of our life for all time everlasting.
By Your Father's Grace we live again by the asking.
Oh! Precious Jesus, You made sure we'd not perish.
You did it as ordained and You, Jesus, we cherish!

Since the beginning of time You knew we'd need rebirth.
Even though we humans are of very little good or worth.
Your love manifested itself with great holy passion!
Jesus, we honor and worship You in humble fashion.

It's a new Easter Day and You will always be our King.
You are our Master of glory about whom the angels sing!
We thank You, Jesus, as much as we mortals possibly can.
For we are Your very own and in Your salvation we stand.

Oh! Blessed day of Easter and Your rebirth we celebrate.
Our lives to You, oh wonderful Savior, we will dedicate.
Jesus, we know there will always be more of Your affection.
Thank You, Lord, for the years You've been our resurrection!
