Love lives again, that with the dead has been:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
Of course, the hymn writer is using winter turning to spring as a metaphor. The death and burial of Jesus was a kind of wintertime, short perhaps but agonising nevertheless. And then comes Easter morning.
Jesus who for three days in the grave had lain;
Quick from the dead, the risen One is seen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
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.
May it be so for you this Easter time.
Dean Stephen Hance
