Introduction to the Gospel for Easter Season

The Protector

 

There are clues to God’s protection even here;

You live for one thing! Safely through the night!

God’s greatest remedies are hid from sight,

horrendous evils break God’s heart. In tears

another mighty act by God is writ

when the second curtain lifts

and sorrow is erased by gifts

and at God’s groaning table sufferers sit.

Press you on! Rememb’ring how God cares;

you, of all good and truth - the heirs.

 

[Year B - Seventh Sunday of Easter]
