Easter Sunday brings hope for our future in faith

The cold stone of the tomb, where a broken corpse lay

Now gives the world hope at the break of This Day

So frightened and lost the disciples had fled 

They deserted their Christ as his body had bled

How can we recover our hope in such gloom?

Where do we find light in the dark of the tomb?

The promise he made to the whole of mankind

When we seek out our Lord then our faith we will find

As the rising of Christ saved the world long ago

If today we have hope then our future will glow
