Verse 1
Now the green blade riseth 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 that springeth green.
Verse 2
In the grave they laid him, Love who had been slain
thinking that he would never wake again,
laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
Verse 3
Forth he came at Easter like the risen grain,
Jesus who for three days in the grave had lain;
quick from the dead, my risen Lord is seen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
Verse 4
When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,
Jesus' touch can call us back to life again,
fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been;
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
