Last Line: ROSE WHEN HE ROSE
Subject(s): "CRUCIFIXION;JESUS CHRIST;RESURRECTION, THE;" JESUS CHRIST - CRUCIFIXION;
@3He died!@1

And with him perished all that men hold dear;
Hope lay beside him in the sepulcher,
Love grew corse cold, and all things beautiful beside
Died when he died.

@3He rose!@1

And with him hope arose, and life and light.
Men said, "Not Christ but Death died yesternight."
And joy and truth and all things virtuous
Rose when he rose.
