Author: John M. C. Crum, 1872-1958 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #210 (2007) Meter: 11.10.10.11 First Line: Now the green blade riseth, from the buried grain Lyrics: 1 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.
2 In the grave they laid Him, Love who had been slain,
Thinking that He never would awake again,
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
3 Forth He came at Easter, like the risen grain,
Jesus who for three days in the grave had lain;
Quick from the dead the risen One is seen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
4 When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,
Jesus' 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. Topics: Assurance; Confidence; Easter; Healing; Hope; Jesus Christ; Love; Promise; Resurrection; Suffering Scripture: John 12:24 Languages: English Tune Title: FRENCH CAROL
