I first posted this ditty\u00a0 6 years ago, shortly after I joined Vox Nova; now that we have a new audience, I want to share it with you.\u00a0 I wrote it when the kids were little and today, my son (who is 24!) asked me to sing this in the car on the way to Church.\u00a0 It is sung to the tune of \u201cWhat do you do with a drunken sailor?\u201d.\u00a0 Enjoy!\u00a0 He is Risen!<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
Hooray! Up he rises!
\nHooray, up he rises,
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
Where is he now, the lamb of God?
\nWhere is he now, the lamb of God?
\nWhere is he now, the lamb of God>
\nEarly Easter morning<\/p>\n
Out of the grave and to his Father,
\nOut of the grave and to his Father,
\nOut of the grave and to his Father,
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
Where is thy sting, o bitter death? x 3
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
Broken and cast onto the ground x 3
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
Why do you sing, you sons of Adam? x 3
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
Crushed and burned the yoke of Satan x 3
\nEarly Easter morning<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
What is your joy, o ancient prophets? x 3
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
We have seen the branch of Jesse x 3
\nEarly Easter morning.<\/p>\n
