On a Golden Springtime

Lyrics

1. 1. On a golden springtime, underneath the ground,

   A tiny seedling lay asleep until the sun shone down.

   Awake, awake, O little seed!

   Push upward to the light!

   The day is bright. With all your might,

   push upward to the light!

2. 2. On a golden springtime, Jesus Christ awoke

   And left the tomb where he had lain; the bands of death he broke.

   Awake, awake, O sleeping world!

   Look upward to the light,

   For now all men may live again.

   Look upward to the light!

3. 3. On a golden springtime, in a forest glade,

   The Father and the Son appeared as Joseph knelt and prayed.

   Awake, awake, O nations all!

   Receive the gospel light!

   The gospel true is here for you.

   Receive its glorious light!
