On the first day of the week, very early
in the morning,
the women took the spices they had
prepared
and went to the tomb. They found the stone
rolled away from the tomb, but when they
entered,
they did not find the body of the Lord
Jesus.
While they were wondering about this,
suddenly two men
with clothes that gleamed like lightning
stood beside them.
In their fright, the women bowed down
with their faces to the ground,
but the men said to them,
“Why do you look for the living among
the dead?
He is not here, He has risen!”
Luke 24:1-6
Early
morning,
thick with darkness,
damp
with dew
Anxious
soldiers
faint dead away before the
brilliance
of archangels.
Son
of God!
Your Father calls You!
Come
forth!
The
trembling earth
unfolds her captive Creator
from
the grave - leaving
Emptiness,
as angels proclaim:
Why seek the living among the dead?
He
is not here! He is
Risen!
Christ is risen indeed!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
The Hallelujah Chorus
