Easter morn is breaking by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
1 Easter morn is breaking, over land and sea;
Easter bells are ringing, ringing merrily.

Joyously we carol, may our songs arise
To our blessèd Savior far above the skies.

About Easter morn is breaking
The composer Hart Pease Danks opens with a joyful, celebratory musical setting of the English text, Easter morn is breaking. The SATB voices are used to create a rich texture, mirroring the jubilant mood of the Resurrection. The lyrical verses speak of the breaking dawn, the visible signs of spring, and the happiness of children singing praises. The refrain, Joyously we carol, provides a unifying and uplifting focus, inviting singers and listeners alike to offer their songs to the Savior. This hymn is a bright and accessible expression of Easter faith and gladness.
