Easter Extempore

orchidee



Tune: Lux Eoi

('Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise')

*******

Alleluia! God of heaven

You to us your Son have given

We recall again, Easter-tide

On the cross He suffered, died

But that not the end, for He sure

On third day rose evermore

Thus to live, ne'er to die again

And be Saviour of all men (mankind)

 

Can we believe, can we trust this?

It shall bring us lasting bliss

And to share, to evangelise

That Christ open inward eyes

Eyes of hearts, give understanding

Knowledge, light, and faith us bring

Simply trusting, loving, showing

Others Christ is Lord and King

 

Awesome earthquake, resurrection

Women at tomb did find then

Angel sitting in the tomb there

And glad tidings he did bear

For he said, Christ, He is not here

Go to Galilee, not fear

For there you shall see Him risen

Hope, joy, peace unto all men (mankind)

 

For the sting of death He removed

Victor over it He proved

Bore our sins and our transgressions

We become His daughters, sons

Freed, forgiven, if repentant

Jesus He from God was sent

Alleluia! God of heaven

You to us your Son have sent

    Death has no sting, the body may go but the Spirit within us goes on for eternity.

      Thanks God. Yes, wasp sting is nasty. Not that I've been stung for years, thankfully.

    • Nicholas Browning

      At this point I'm sure you know that I'm not religious in any way, Orch. But I really do enjoy reading this stuff. It's inspiring.

      • orchidee

        Thanks Nicholas. Some just wish to comment on the style, form, etc of the poems. A bit of evangelising in the background? heehee. But it can't be forced on people.

        • Nicholas Browning

          It's a lot more than the form, or the style. It's the dedication my good sir.

            Thanks Brian. What was that somewhere about your Thursdays being a sort of 'limbo' day?!

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              THANKS STEVE ~ Well it's not as bad as Monday ~ BUT ~ It's not as good as Friday ~ and in my experience something often hits the FAN on a Thursday !
