Easter Joy

Easter
Sing, soul of mine, this day of days.
The Lord is risen.
Toward the sunrising set thy face.
The Lord is risen.
Behold he giveth strength and grace;
For darkness, light; for mourning, praise;
For sin, his holiness; for conflict, peace.
Arise, O soul, this Easter day!
Forget the tomb of yesterday,
For thou from bondage art set free;
Thou sharest in His victory
And life eternal is for thee,
Because the Lord is risen.

    Hi Terra, I spent my Easter weekend trying my best to be electronic gadget free and I watched a 3-hr musical play about Jesus life. It was wonderful!

    I hope you had a nice Easter break.

    Have a great week ahead.

    Hello:

    This poem exactly encapsulates the true meaning of Easter. Whatever the belief, or otherwise, of the individual, this is a time of such hope, promise and renewal.

    We trust, as this Eastertide draws to a close, that you have enjoyed real happiness and peace.

    Thank you for that lovely poem. He is risen. We are blessed that we know it. I'm doing the A to Z challenge on my blog again this year. For my R post today I chose Redeemer and Resurrection. Even though I know I have non Christian blog readers, I felt this Easter season was the perfect time to bear testimony of my love for my Redeemer and my faith in His resurrection for my R post.

    Have a nice week.
