TIME TO REJOICE

Text: Beverly J. Anderson
Music: Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Open the windows and let the sun in -
Oh, listen how - sweet the birds sing;
The bond of winter has broken away,
It’s time to rejoice and greet spring.

2
Hillsides are lovely in green once again,
And blossoms appear on the trees.
Flowers are waking aroused by spring’s kiss,
And lilac scent drifts on the breeze.

3
Earth now is bursting with joy and rebirth.
Oh, how can a soul fail to sing!
After life’s winter comes heart - peace and hope -
All part of God’s promise called spring.

(Repeat all)
