Poems (Coolidge)/O Lord of Easter
O LORD OF EASTER
O Lord of Easter, I would haste To keep this festal day; No longer barred the rock-hewn tomb, The stone is rolled away.
O Lord of Easter, I to-day Would journey at thy side; With eyes no longer holden see My Master glorified.
O Lord of Easter, I would share, Till earthly storms shall cease, The farewell blessing thou didst give, The balm of heavenly peace.
O Lord of Easter, I, to thee, Would unbelief confide; With thy disciple I would feel Thy wounded hands and side.
O Lord of Easter, I would strive To keep this festal day, All dread and darkening doubt, by faith, Forever rolled away.
