EASTER (1976)
Jesus the Christ
He is risen
He is alive
History now has a future
As well as a past
That heavy stone
Has been rolled away
That we might witness
An already empty tomb
Hope bursts and floods
Upon and within our hearts
And the adversary is powerless
To halt the triumph of truth
Dead men who once stinketh
Continue to come forth
And so we become
Lazaruses all
Oh ye that weep
Mourn no more
The Author of Easter
Living still
Is in full charge
Alleluia, Amen.
