endless is the victory, thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where thy body lay.
Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.
Edmond Budry (1854-1932)
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen."
Luke 24:5 NRSV
Christ has risen indeed!
Happy Easter to All
