“On a Golden Springtime,” Liahona, Apr. 1995, 13
On a Golden Springtime
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. 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. 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!
