“Love is Come Again, Like Wheat that Springeth Green”. An Easter Reflection.
Happy Easter from Missouri!
My favorite Easter hymn was sung at church today, Now the Green Blade Riseth. It speaks of hope in the midst of despair:

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.
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 whom we had slain,
Thinking that he’d never wake to life again,
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
Thinking that he’d never wake to life again,
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
Up he spring at Easter, like the risen grain,
He that for three days in the grave had lain.
Up from the dead my risen Lord is seen;
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green.
He that for three days in the grave had lain.
Up from the dead my risen Lord is seen;
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green.
When our hearts are weary, grieving, Lord, in pain,
By your touch you 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.“Love is Come Again, Like Wheat that Springeth Green”. An Easter Reflection. | Missouri Education Watchdog:
