An Easter hymn

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, April 12, 2009

A holy hymn of love rises within us this day

and the colors rise, and come to guild the sky

which is our heart;

and we rejoice again at the miracle of being alive,

and greet these other flowers with whom

we share this blessed road.

All this hope and love surges from deep within

when we rise as children to greet the day;

no longer clinging

to hours within us already dead and gone;

when we know the power within us, and feel again

our share of the Spirit’s bounty.

When these spring fires burn within us again,

warming at last this wintry world,

and blazing at last through these eyes of ours--

like a dawning sunrise--

then the world is made new,

and we along with it,

and our ears catch the tune,

in just a hint of its glory,

until we join again as well, singing

this resounding Easter song of Life.
