Easter Chimes by Charles P. Scott — Lyrics
The Easter chimes are pealing
'Tis Easter Day,
Harm! the bells are ringing
In their sweet old way;
Hark! for they seem to say,
Swinging, swinging, swinging,
Hear, O earth, joyous lay,
Hear! 'tis Easter Day!

About Easter Chimes
The jubilant words of Easter Chimes paint a vivid scene of Easter morning, with bells pealing and ringing out the joyous news of Christ the Lord's resurrection. The text proclaims the empty tomb and the victory over death, urging the earth to hear this glad tidings. Charles P. Scott sets this celebratory English text for SATB choir. The music aims to capture the triumphant spirit of the day, with the choir echoing the ringing of the Easter bells and conveying the profound message of salvation. This anthem is ideal for Easter services, bringing a powerful musical expression to the central message of the Christian faith.
