Verse 1
Now the green blade rises from the buried grain,
wheat that in dark earth many days has lain;
love lives again, that with the dead has been;
love is come again like wheat arising green.
Verse 2
In the grave they laid him, love by hatred slain
thinking that Jesus would not wake again,
laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen;
love is come again like wheat arising green.
Verse 3
Christ came forth at Easter like the risen grain,
who that for three days in the grave had lain;
raised from the dead, the risen Christ is seen;
love is come again like wheat arising green.
Verse 4
When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,
your touch can call us back to life again,
fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been;
love is come again like wheat arising green.
