The tomb of Christ is but the bed
He rested on three days.
Easter morn He rose again,
The flower of our spring.
On Him, arisen from the dead,
Must we, though flesh decays,
Bestow our faith that when we die
Our souls, like His, shall not long lie
Forsaken in our tomb.
Christ shall, with deep affection, when
He sees our soul's affliction, then
Redeem us with His pain.
In His eternal suffering
Shall we find grace enough to bring
The seed of faith to bloom.

Easter
by George Dixon

Easter, Easter, holy day
When God took my Lord away.
Told an angel, "Roll the stone
From the grave and bring Him home.
Leave behind the Holy Ghost
For the ones who love Us most.
They will join Us by and by,
When the stars fall from the sky.
He will lead them home to Me
Where they’ll glimpse eternity."

Easter Day
by Anonymous

Thirty days hath September,
But to know when Easter'll come
Puzzles even scholars, some.

When March the twenty-first is past
Just watch the silvery moon,
And when you see it full and round,
Know Easter'll be here soon.

After the moon has reached its full,
Then Easter will be here,
On the very Sunday after
In each and every year.

And if it hap on Sunday,
The moon should reach its height,
The sunday following this event,
Will be the Easter bright.

He Did Rise
by Gidget

On Easter He did rise,
To everyone's surprise.
And to the surprise of all,
He will again come to call,
And all his people rise,
To everyone's surprise.

An Easter Wish
by Anonymous

May the glad dawn
Of Easter morn
Bring joy to thee.

May the calm eve
Of Easter leave
A peace divine with thee.

May Easter night
On thine heart write,
O Christ, I live for thee.
