All in an Easter Garden

This is a simple folk-style hymn for Easter, possibly written for children.

The author and composer re unknown: the books it is published in (including The BBC "Complete Come And Praise") suggest that it may be of English origin.

With references to water lilies blooming at Easter, it is most suitable for northern hemisphere locations.

Lyrics

All in an Easter garden,
Before the break of day,
An angel came from heaven
And rolled the stone away.
When Jesus' friends came seeking,
With myrrh and spices rare,
They found the angels at the door,
But Jesus was not there.

All in an Easter garden,
Where water lilies bloom,
The angels gave their message
Beside an empty tomb:
'The Lord is here no longer,
Come, see where once He lay;
The Lord of Life is ris'n indeed,
For this is Easter day.
