Easter Reveille The Easter lily's pure white bloom/ Proclaims the joy of empty tomb. Its trumpet pipes majestically/ A resurrection reveille; Oh, gladly greet this bright new day! The sting of death has gone away. On man God has His love outpoured, And Jesus is the risen Lord! --Louise Pugh Corder Franklinville, North Carolina
