CHRIST IS RISEN!

 

At the dawn of Easter morn ; a day bright and gay 

All  creatures  were sleeping and the world was still dark .

Mary Magdalen came to the tomb early that day .

She must be there early ; as early as a lark . 

 

To her surprise, she saw the tomb stone; it was rolled away .

 She'd looked inside . Alas ! it was an empty tomb!

She ran through thick and thin to spread the news , to say

Happenings so strange ; like the coming of eternal doom.

 

Breathless ,  cried the maid ," Oh ! They had taken Him away ;

Away from the tomb ! Don't know  where to ; let me  recall ..

You all must come to look for Him, and do it to-day

To see where he has gone  if he has gone at all ! "

 

Peter and the others ; all surprised by the news

They all ran towards the tomb and what did they see ?

All Jesus wrappings were there in perfect order

 None missing ; except the body of the Master !

 

 All the faithful gathered saw this strange happenings !

They all believed . Blessed are  you and I who believe

Although we have never seen such real happenings ;

As we understand  what Holy Scriptures had announced .

 

For Christ's  risen ! Resurrection of one by His own power!

Resurrection of the Man-God ! Such a wonder !

Now the heart of  man fills with hope and gratitude!

The Lord's risen! He saves us from sins and destitute !
