A Joyous Easter Song by Clarence Dickinson — Lyrics
Now let us be exceeding glad,
Our hearts no longer need be sad,
Hallelujah!
Christ hath o'er come the tomb's dark night,
The world is bathed in Easter light,
Hallelujah!
His stripes shall heal us from our sin,
His cross forgiveness for us win,
Hallelujah!

About A Joyous Easter Song
This SATB anthem in English bursts with the triumphant spirit of Easter morning. The text expresses profound joy and gratitude for Christ's resurrection, celebrating His victory over death and the promise of salvation and healing. It urges believers to cast aside sadness and embrace gladness, acknowledging the forgiveness won through His sacrifice and the new life offered to all humankind through His rising. Clarence Dickinson's composition likely reflects this jubilant message, offering a vibrant setting for church choirs to convey the central tenets of the Easter faith. The music should overflow with praise and exultation, embodying the theme of renewal and victory.
