('Now the green blade riseth')
Matthew 28 v.1 - 10
**********
Christ arose at Easter, resurrection power
Now He lives for ever, each day and hour
On Easter morn a great earthquake did rend
The land, when women came gently tomb to tend
Rolled away the stone was, tomb entrance open
They did see an angel sitting in tomb then
Then shone his countenance like lightning bright
Raiment white as snow, gleaming, awesome sight
Then for fear of angel, keepers there did shake
And an appearance as dead men did make
Angel then answered to women, 'Fear not'
I good news for you have, this your happy lot
I know you seek Jesus, who was crucified
He is not here, see the place when He died
Where they laid Him, now go quickly and tell
His disciples He has fulfilled all things well
Yes, go tell that He is risen from the dead
Goes before to Galilee, your living Head
There shall you see Him, truth, it is no lie
You shall see the Lord who nevermore shall die
Thus they went so quickly, with fear and joy great
Told disciples good news, they were not late
Then on the road Jesus met them, 'All hail'
Tell friends meet me at Galilee without fail
