The World Itself is an Easter hymn written by John M. Neale in 1866.

The world itself keeps Easter Day,
And Easter larks are singing;
And Easter flow'rs are blooming gay,
And Easter buds are springing.
Alleluia,
alleluia.

The Lord of all things lives anew,
And all His works are living too.
Alleluia,
alleluia.
