Tune: Easter Hymn
('Jesus Christ is risen today')
John 20 v.11-18
********
Lord of life and love and power - Alleluia!
Reigning o'er all every hour - Alleluia!
Now arisen from the dead - Alleluia!
You ever our living Head - Alleluia!
Behold! Tomb-stone rolled away - Alleluia!
Here the resurrection day - Alleluia!
May Magdalen she saw _ Alleluia!
Two angels, said, Weep no more - Alleluia!
She turned round in garden there - Alleluia!
Jesus did with her then share - Alleluia!
Though she knew not it was He - Alleluia!
Till He said, 'Mary', so be - Alleluia!
She said, 'Rabboni', 'Teacher' - Alleluia!
Belief, faith in her did stir - Alleluia!
Jesus said, Touch me not, I - Alleluia!
Am not yet ascended high - Alleluia!
But go to disciples, tell - Alleluia!
Them I am risen, know well - Alleluia!
Shall ascend to my Father - Alleluia!
And He be your Father sure - Alleluia!
And to my God my ascent - Alleluia!
Shall come to pass, He me sent - Alleluia!
And He your God, salvation - Alleluia!
Open now to each nation - Alleluia!

I’ve never seen the spelling of hallelujah that way, at least that’s how I read it.. enjoy your holiday. Nice poem.
Thank you D. The original hymn spells it as Alleluia. Same word though - different spellings.
Lovely Orchi. It is a great hymn most faithful to the scriptures. Very nicely done my friend
Thank you SB.
Most welcome Orchi Happy Easter
Orchi, there’s a bright, steady joy here…resurrection told with reverence and rhythm, anchored in that moment of being named. And somewhere nearby, Popeyeus Glug Maximus Solus is attempting a full Alleluia but keeps pausing mid-verse for a ceremonial glug, while Wan Ken just sighs, “oi be…not during the resurrection, old lad…” 😂🥬🙏 Now we know both Mary's and Obi's messages. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. But what is Obi's message? Unfortunately, WCAT! lol.
At first quick read of your title I misread your moniker and thought it was your doppelganger (you know the one, tweet tweet and the beak - could be you) was sending a paean of love to his lady and had snuck in twice on one day... then I sussed it was you.. so Happy Easter to yer...
Thank you D. Erm, Happy Christmas to ya. Well, one of us is living upside down, as it were - is it the UK or Australia? lol. What ya doing having Summer while we're having Winter, and vice versa?
I've had summer, such as it woz get yer facts straight Son. You are engaging in too much vice (Who's Versa? was she nice?) It's rotting your brain.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
Your hymn is a beautiful Easter tribute! The melody and lyrics blend perfectly, conveying the joy and significance of Jesus' resurrection. The storytelling is vivid, and the "Alleluia"s add a triumphant touch. Very well written!!!
Thank you S.
