Description
A delightful Easter carol, using bird calls as inspiration and accompaniment at the opening and closing of the anthem.
Anthem text
Spring bursts today,
for Christ is risen and all the earth’s at play.
Flash forth, thou Sun,
the rain is over and gone, its work is done.
Winter is past,
Sweet Winter is come at last, is come at last.
Uplift thy head,
O pure white Lily through the winter dead.
Beside your dams,
Rejoice and leap, ye merry-making lambs.
All herds and flocks,
Rejoice, all Beasts of thickets and of rocks.
Sing, Creatures sing!
Men and Angels and Birds and everything.
Spring bursts today!
-Christina Rosetti
