82: To sing of Resurrection

(Tune: "Ellacombe") 7.6.7.6. D

 

©Pharisaios Publications 2018 To sing of resurrection
Gives life to heart and voice.
Yet clergy and their organists
Each year run out of choice.
We start on Easter morning,
With more on Easter two.
By then the best are all used up
And others don’t ring true.

After a month of Sundays
The dearth begins to bite.
The candle still burns witness
To resurrection light.
Too early for Ascension
And its festal melody.
So “Gen’ral Hymns" are open-ed
To fill our hymnody.
