EASTER SACRAMENTS, by                    
First Line: There is a soul gethsemane
Last Line: To make his rising mine.
Subject(s): Easter; Holidays; The Resurrection


There is a Soul Gethsemane
Where I must kneel,
A prayer which I must pray
Till I can feel
That, though the anguish redden on my brow,
And Calvary's begun,
From him I'll take the sacrament of Love—
"Thy will, not mine, be done."

There is a Resurrection Life
That I must share,
A tomb that I must leave;
And though I bear
The wounds which I have won upon my cross,
Transfigured, they will shine—
A sacramental pledge of Love with Faith,
To make his rising mine.
