Religious Easter poems “Celebrate Our SaviorOn Easter morn, we celebrate our Savior;Whatever people seek in Him, they find.In history, there has never been anotherSo holy, sacrificial, good and kind.His resurrection makes us all immortal;In heaven, we’ll be together with our King.Eternally we’ll share in all His blessings;Happy Easter! Jesus Christ is everything!” — Joanna Fuchs”If in that Syrian garden, ages slain,You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain,Nor even in dreams behold how dark and brightAscends in smoke and fire by day and nightThe hate you died to quench and could but fan,Sleep well and see no morning, son of man.But if, the grave rent and the stone rolled by,At the right hand of majesty on highYou sit, and sitting so remember yetYour tears, your agony and bloody sweat,Your cross and passion and the life you gave,Bow hither out of heaven and see and save.” — A. E. Housman”A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.Or I guess if is the handkerchief of the Lord,A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt,Bearing the owner’s name someway in the corners, that wemay see and remark, and say Whose?” — Walt Whitman”Jesus rose on Easter day,The stone by his tomb was rolled away.He conquered death upon that day,And He lives again to show us the way. ” — Kelly Roper “The silver trumpets rang across the Dome:The people knelt upon the ground with awe:And borne upon the necks of men I saw,Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:In splendor and in light the Pope passed home.” — Oscar Wilde”Am I a stone, and not a sheep, That I can stand, O Christ, beneath thy cross, To number drop by drop Thy Blood’s slow loss, And yet not weep?Not so those women loved Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee; Not so fallen Peter weeping bitterly; Not so the thief was moved;Not so the Sun and Moon Which hid their faces in a starless sky, A horror of great darkness at broad noon– I, only I.Yet give not o’er, But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock; Greater than Moses, turn and look once more And smite a rock.” — Christina Rossetti”Easter is a time of love,A time of death and pain undone, So we may know the power of The love that lives in each one. Each love we feel, unstained and free, Redeems us — as with you and me.” — Nicholas Gordon
