Easter Weekend

Easter Music

by Margaret Wade Deland

 

Blow, golden trumpets, sweet and clear,

Blow soft upon the perfumed air;

 

 

Bid the sad earth to join our song,

"To Christ does victory belong!"

 



Oh, let the winds your message bear

To every heart of grief and care;

 



Sound through the world the joyful lay,

"Our Christ hath conquered Death today!"

 



On cloudy wings let glad words fly

Through the soft blue of echoing sky:

 



Ring out, O trumpets, sweet and clear,

"Through Death immortal Life is here!"
