~A HYMN FOR EASTER

Wide Open Are Thy Hands

Wide open are Thy hands,

Paying with more than gold,

The awful debt of guilty men,

Forever and of old.

Ah, let me grasp those hands,

That we may never part,

And let the power of their blood

Sustain my fainting heart.

Wide open are Thine arms,

A fallen world to embrace;

To take to love and endless rest

Our whole forsaken race.

Lord, I am sad and poor,

But boundless is Thy grace;

Give me the soul-transforming joy

For which I seek Thy face.

Draw all my mind and heart

Up to Thy throne on high,

And let Thy sacred cross exalt

My spirit to the sky.

To these, Thy mighty hands,

My spirit I resign;

Living, I live alone to Thee

Dying, alone are Thine.

~Attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153);

translated from Latin to English by Charles P. Krauth~

"It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  
And when you've got it, you want--oh, you don't 
quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly 
makes your heart ache, you want it so!"

~Mark Twain~
