Wheat That Springeth Green

Verse 1

Now the green blade riseth from the buried grain
Wheat that in dark earth many days hath lain
Love lives again that with the dead hath 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 rise 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 earth 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
