Empty!!

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Jesus from death returned,
by many touched and heard
– but some* have doubted, tried
to prove such is absurd.

Intelligent, with wisdom
they thought they’d soon explain
that Jesus hadn’t risen
and all would soon be plain.

But from investigation,
to own they were compelled
that Jesus’ resurrection
is truth to be upheld.

No cruel clever hoax,
no pretty little tale,
a cross that is the crux
and grace that will not fail!

Tune: 66 66iambic eg St Cecilia tune of ‘The kingdom come, O God’
