“Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The appearance of light is the same as the survival of the soul” Victor Hugo Easter Beyond Easter lovely lilies Beyond its beauteous bunnies Beyond its savoury sweeties, Lies its illuminating light, Light of forgiveness and mercy Through resurrection of His Son Crucified for false heresy, Flogged and buried in a dark tomb, Light shimmering from Jesus Christ, Risen from the tomb of darkness To light the path of His shepherds And guide them to realms of brightness, Light of faith in Lord`s divine son, Rising from the dullness of death To share divine love and grace And infuse in His herd new breath, Light of the victory of life Over the dreary devils of death With its undaunted icy hands Lurking in all corners of earth, Light that cleanses the human soul From the filth of sour hate and pride Ushers in joy to one and all And drives saddening clouds aside, Light of the hope of redemption Of man from evils and his sin To the end goal of salvation Trough renewal of human soul. On Easter Day and every day, To the Lord and His Only Son Let`s offer wreaths of hearty thanks For letting go of human treason, For shedding pearls of blood by Christ For redeeming the human race And though thrashed and nailed on the cross Showered on man love and grace. On Easter Day and everyday Let us reverberate His love By lending, in a humble way, A friendly hand to those in need; On Easter Day and everyday Let us spread His words in the fields, In the towns and in the city, Over the mounts and on the hills; On Easter day and everyday Let`s unfold His divine message Over the scroll of time and space That both common folks and sages, Hopes of salvation may embrace And with divine light may be graced.
