Poems (Coolidge)/Another Easter

​
ANOTHER EASTER
Now another Easter  Dawns o'er all the word, Every Christian banner  Is anew unfurled; For the grave is empty,  Death has lost its sting, To a Risen Saviour  Loyal hearts may sing.
Yea, another Easter  Brings its message dear From the shining angels:  "Lo! He is not here!" "Where, O Grave, thy victory  Where, O Death, thy sting? Christ the Lord is risen!"  Hearts, rejoicing, sing.
And,—another Easter  Does sweet peace impart, By its words of comfort  To the mourner's heart; "Christ has won the victory;  Death has lost its sting;" Both in earth and heaven,  All the faithful sing.
