Children of Easter Morn

Manoling Francisco, SJ

We are the children of Easter morning,
We sing to celebrate our new lives,
The dawn of an eternal morning,
The fulfillment of our ageless desires.
We sing with joy in our hearts overflowing
We sing to beckon those who dwell in the dark.
We'll keep on singing till all men celebrate this Easter morn.

We are the children of Easter morning
We sing to proclaim the Lord's might
Now there's meaning to our life of dying
For the Lord, our God, has conquered the night
With joy we dedicate our lives to the service
Of the God of life whose goodness we've known
Until our lives be themselves our song of Easter morn.

May our simple lives be a song of praise
To the goodness of the Lord
May the Lord delight in this song we sing
This song we live with joy
If we had to sing just one song

To the Lord, Creator of life
May our lives be that song resounding in praise
To the goodness and glory of God

May our lives be that song resounding in praise
To the goodness and glory of God.

We'll keep on singing till all men celebrate this Easter morn.
We'll keep on singing till all men celebrate
singinmg till all men celebrate this Easter morn.

This Easter morn.
