I thought since Easter is upon us (The Lord is risen indeed, Alleluia) we could all share some of our most....meaningful Easter hymns. This isn't my favorite, but I've always found it very packed with meaning.
Anybody else? Post lyrics if you will...
Now the green blade riseth from the buried grain, Wheat that in the 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,
Forth he came at Easter, like the risen grain, He that for three days in the grave had lain. Quick from the dead my risen Lord is seen: Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green.
When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain, Thy touch can call us back to life again; Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been: Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green.

Yeah, they do. There's this song called "Allelulia: The Lord of Love Has Come" That we sing almost every Easter, either in church or for a Maundy Thursday thing a local church always invites us to.
I'd post lyrics, but it's incredibly long to type. T.T

There are online hymnals around that just BEG to copied, cut and pasted.
And Zeromaye, Easter hymns have an ENTIRE section in most hymnals. The resurrection is the reason for Christianity, after all. It doesn't end on Easter day, either, the season is 50 days long.
