Alleluia to the King by Charles Edwin Clemens — Lyrics
1 Easter flowers, Easter carols
Deck the altar, fill the air;
Glorious dawns the happy morning
O'er a world so bright and fair.
Alleluia let us sing,
Alleluia to the King!
2 When the clouds of night were broken,
Angels rolled the stone away,
And on this bright Easter morning
Sing we now the triumph lay.
Alleluia let us sing,
Alleluia to the King!
3 In the mists of early morning,
Came the faithful to the tomb,
Angel guardians clad in white robes,
