Cross on the Hill Easter Morning by Sharon Tate Soberon

In the light of Easter dawn,
   while disciples in whispers
   passed their despair one to another,
you arose at the call of the Father,
bringing light and immortality to light,
   warming hearts with inextinguishable joy,
   and rehabilitating doubters and deniers
with a love that overpowers the gates of hell.

Jesus, the Word made flesh,
   Jesus, friend of sinners,
Reconciler of the whole universe,
   the resurrection and the life;
Heaven and earth are full of your glory!
Our allegiance and gratitude are yours for ever!
