EASTER

After darkness, light:

After winter, spring;

After dying, life

      Alleluia.

Take his body down

Lay it in the tomb;

Love has overcome:

      Alleluia

Turn away in grief;

Turn away in faith;

Celebrate his death:

     Alleluia

Come whatever may,

God will have his way

Welcome, Easter Day

    Alleluia

                (F .Pratt Green)
