“The First Fruits of Them That Slept”(1 Cor. 15:20)Past are the anguish and weight of His passion; Sealed in a sepulcher, Jesus doth lie, Guarded by soldiers in armor, whose fashion Only imperial Rome can supply. Just from the courts of Jehovah descended, Clothed in a raiment as white as the snow, Shining in face by lightning attended, Speeds there an angel as a dart from a bow. Reaching the garden as daylight is springing, Backward he rolleth the stone from the grave; Up cometh Jesus, in majesty bringing Proof reconfirmed of His power to save. Shaking with fear, to the ground fall the keepers; Quaketh the earth with mysterious thrills. Glory to God in the highest! Ye weepers, Shout in the chorus that heaven now fills. Earth could not bind the true Lord of creation; Vanquished is death by the Author of life; Quickly arise ye and tell every nation Jesus has won in the glorious strife. Past are the anguish and weight of His passion; Pleasures forever bide Him on high; Clothed is the Savior with garments in fashion Human resources could never supply. (Robert Rothman) Yours in our Risen Lord, Earl
