Greetings,
The great Georgia Harkness wrote this poem:
After Easter
On Easter day my heart is lifted high
With gladsome praises to the Lord of life.
The hallelujahs ring: the heavens are rife
With song and story. He who could defy
The powers of death has risen again—it nigh
To say, “Fear not...Men, put away your strife,
I am the resurrection and the life.”
All earth seems joyous, and we need not die!
The vision fades; the Easter joy is past;
Again in dull drab paths our lot is cast.
The heavens no longer sing. The war clouds lower.
O Lord, where art Thou in Thy risen power?
The calm voice speaks—it answers all I ask,
“I am beside you in the daily task.”
We are working to keep the resurrection alive and well this week, and all of the year.
Yours & His,
DED
