Tune: Easter Hymn

('Jesus Christ is risen today')

Matthew 28 v.1-8

*******

Now since the first Easter morn - Alleluia!

Humankind may be reborn - Alleluia!

Born of the Spirit within - Alleluia!

Forgiven and cleansed from sin - Alleluia!

 

After Sabbath* some to tomb (*Sunday morning) - Alleluia!

Came, and they saw empty room - Alleluia!

Then great earthquake, an angel - Alleluia!

Descended, tidings did tell - Alleluia!

 

Angel rolled back stone from door - Alleluia!

Of tomb, Jesus there no more - Alleluia!

His countenance as lightning - Alleluia!

White clothing, good news did bring - Alleluia!

 

For fear of him keepers there - Alleluia!

At tomb did shake and despair - Alleluia!

They became as like dead men - Alleluia!

But Jesus had risen then - Alleluia!

 

Angel to women did say - Alleluia!

Fear not, I do know this day - Alleluia!

That you seek Jesus, though He - Alleluia!

Crucified, now risen be - Alleluia!

 

Come, see place where He did lay - Alleluia!

But not here for ever stay - Alleluia!

For He goes to Galilee - Alleluia!

And sure you shall there Him see - Alleluia!

 

So they left tomb, quickly sped - Alleluia!

To announce Jesus not dead - Alleluia!

Bringing His disciples word - Alleluia!

Of the message they had heard - Alleluia!

      A fine write and very timely too. It tells the story well and I only wish that it had been a song when I used to go to church.
