Tune: Horsley
('There is a green hill')
Matthew 27 v.62-66 & 28 v.1-8
*********
The chief priests and the Pharisees
To Pilate made their pleas
That Jesus' tomb sealed would be
So no deception, see
They said, Lest His disciples steal
Him away, their appeal
Was for a guard to watch by tomb
Stay by sepulchre's room
Pilate did give them a guard, they
Made tomb secure that day
Yet on the Sunday's early morn
Angel appeared at dawn
He descended and great earthquake
Did make tomb-keeper's shake
They became as dead men, angel
Rolled back the stone, we tell
He spoke to the two Marys there
Said, Good news I do share
Fear not, Jesus you seek, I know
He not here, I you show
Come, see the place where He did lay
He is risen this day
Goes before you to Galilee
And there you shall Him see
They from the tomb did rise quickly
And witnessed, true, freely
With fear and great joy told the word
Of angel they had heard

Perfect poem Hymn for Easter Orchi. Very nicely done.
Thank you SB. I was going to call it 'The Eve of Easter' but some of the events here happened on Easter Day!
Most welcome Orchi titles can be difficult at times. I have spent more time on thinking of a good title at times than writing the poem
well done
Thank you F.
