OUR salvation to obtain Christ our Passover is slain: Unto Christ we Christians raise This our sacrifice of praise. By the Lamb the sheep were bought; By the Pure the guilty sought: With their God were made at one Sinners by the sinless Son. In a dark mysterious strife Closed the powers of Death and Life, And the Lord of Life was slain: Yet He liveth and doth reign. "Say what saw'st thou, Mary, say, As thou wentest on thy way." "Christ's, the Living's, tomb; the throes Earth was torn with as He rose: And the angels twain who bare Witness that He was not there; And the grave-clothes of the Dead, And the cloth that bound His head: Christ our Hope is risen, and He Goes before to Galilee." Trust we Mary: she is true; Heed we not the faithless Jew. Conqueror, King, to Thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise: We believe Thee risen indeed; Hear us, help us in our need. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COVERING WINGS by KATHERINE MANSFIELD CLEAR AND COLDER; BOSTON COMMON by ROBERT FROST A POEM FROM BOULDER RIDGE by JAMES GALVIN OMNIPRESENCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO GOD THE FATHER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD BRUTUS LIVES AGAIN IN BOOTH by EDGAR LEE MASTERS NOTHING WILL CURE THE SICK LION BUT TO EAT AN APE' by MARIANNE MOORE A LETTER ON THE USE OF MACHINE GUNS AT WEDDINGS by KENNETH PATCHEN |
