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]
