The Celebration of Easter

Easter felicitations to everybody Calvary greetings to the brethren Greetings from him who journeyed to the cross Greetings from him whose blood was shed Calvary greetings from the throne of grace. The blood of the lamb who was sacrificed The blood of him who is spotless of sins An atonement for the sins of all mankind For our sake he went to the tree on Calvary For our salvation he was crucified on the cross. We celebrate his death and resurrection By his death our sins were washed away By his resurrection eternal life is given He so loved the world that he gave his life For this he came down from his throne. He was reproached and humiliated though Innocent He was forsaken to the cross by his own Nails piercing his hands and feet to the cross In his pains he was cajoled and ridiculed With passion and love he bore a shameful death. His bodily temple destroyed and he was buried Death he defeated and rose after three days He ascended into heaven and sent us a comforter The risen Christ is alive yes Christ lives forever At Easter we rejoice and commemorate his Victory.
