'Love Is Come Again'
Lyrics:
Now the green blade riseth,
from the buried grain,
Wheat that in dark earth
many days has lain;
Love lives again,
that with the dead has been:
Love is come again
like wheat that springeth green.
In the grave they laid Him,
Love who had been slain,
Thinking that He never
would awake again,
Laid in the earth
like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again
like wheat that springeth green.
Forth He came at Easter,
like the risen grain,
Jesus who for three days
in the grave had lain;
Quick from the dead
the risen One is seen:
Love is come again
like wheat that springeth green.
When our hearts are wintry,
grieving, or in pain,
Jesus' touch can call us
back to life again,
Fields of our hearts
that dead and bare have been:
Love is come again
like wheat that springeth green.
