In the glorious Easter story
   A troubled world can find
Blessed reassurance
   And enduring peace of mind.

For though we grow discouraged
   In this world we're living in,
There is comfort just in knowing
   God has triumphed over sin.

For our Saviour's resurrection
   Was God's way of telling men
That in Christ we are eternal
   And in Him we live again.

And to know life is unending
   And God's love is endless, too,
Makes our daily tasks and burdens
   So much easier to do.

For the blessed Easter story
   Of Christ the living Lord,
Makes our earthly sorrow nothing
   When compared with this reward.
