Easter Song — Lyrics
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.
In the grave they laid him, Love whom men had slain,
Thinking that never he would wake again,
Laid in the earth, like grain that sleeps unseen
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green.

About Easter Song
This hymn tune is arranged for treble voices (SSB) in English. The music reflects the Easter message of resurrection, mirroring the imagery of the text where life emerges from what was buried. It speaks of Christ's victory over death, comparing his rising to a green blade of wheat springing from the earth. The tune's gentle unfolding suggests the quiet miracle of new life and the eventual triumph over grief and winter in the heart, a hopeful message for the Easter season.
