An original Easter/Christmas hymn with text by Kathryn Hales below. 

Watch on YouTube: The Gift of Easter, sacred hymn

At Christmas time we think of Jesus

Born in a stable stall,

We give our gifts of loving service,

Proclaim good will t’ward all.

Now at Easter time recall

The tomb where Jesus laid,

For without the gift of Easter,

There’d be no Christmas Day.

We sing our Christmas carols,

And decorate a tree,

We hang our stars and bells and balls,

For all the world to see.

Now at Easter time recall

The Life, the Truth, the Way,

For without the gift of Easter,

There’d be no Christmas Day.

We think how Jesus came to earth,

His life to freely give,

Payment for our sins was made,

That all mankind might live.

Now at Easter time we sing

Of love that can’t be stayed,

For without the gift of Easter,

There’d be no Christmas Day.
