An Easter Carol

God bless you merry sinner!

Tune: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

1. God bless you merry sinner,
You're forgiven, it is true;
Remember Christ your Saviour Has lived and died for you,
And lives again as King of Kings
For saint and sinner, too,
Oh, tidings of Easter peace and joy,
Peace and joy,
Oh, tidings of Easter peace and joy.

2. In J'rusalem at Calvary
That dismal Friday morn,
Amid the pain and suffering
Eternal life was born.
It came with arms outstretched to us,
Right through the curtain torn,
Oh, tidings of Easter peace and joy,
peace and joy,
Oh, tidings of Easter peace and joy.

3. So sing an halleluiah
For our Saviour's victory,
And shout to all Hosanna,
That we have been set free.
From sin and death and devil's grip
Throughout eternity,
We'll have tidings of Easter peace and joy,
Peace and joy,
Glad tidings of Easter peace and joy.

Paul Lintern, 1999
