Carols aren't just for Christmas
Here is a classic German EASTER carol, Hilariter
The whole bright world rejoices now,
Hilariter, hilariter;
the birds do sing on ev’ry bough,
Alleluya, alleluya.
Then shout beneath the racing skies,
Hilariter, hilariter;
to him who rose that we might rise,
Alleluya, alleluya.
And all you living things make praise,
Hilariter, hilariter;
He guideth you on all your ways,
Alleluya, alleluya.
He, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—
Hilariter, hilariter!
Our God most high, our joy and boast.
Alleluya! Alleluya!
