Christ Is Risen

By M. C. W.

Christ is risen! Tell the tidings! Tell it to His own who wait In Tradition's darksome guidings, By the tomb disconsolate.

Tell it to the sinner, sunken In the depths of sin and crime; To the pleasure-seeker, drunken, Killing self while killing time.

Tell them there is life and blessing, Power o'er vice and death and sin; Life for each His name confessing, Righteousness and peace within.

Christ is risen! Tell the story To the multitudes that go, Hoping still to find the glory, In the paths of long ago.

Tell them paths of old tradition, Leading to the holy grave, Can not bring the sin's remission, From the self it can not save.

Christ is risen! lo, He goeth Ever, ever on before; Truth and light He ever soweth, As He sowed in days of yore.

For His Word can fail thee never; Follow Him; His truth makes free; From His love naught can thee sever, In His service thou shalt see Him, the Christ of Galilee. M. C. W.
