[Written for the Sentinel.]

He is Risen!

ISABEL SHERRICK WARDELL

In the shining, heavenward way
White-robed lilies bloom to-day,
Waxen petals, full of grace,
Bear the message now we trace,
He is Risen!

Hear, O earth! the glad refrain.
Angel voices bear the strain
Of the song from realms above,
Ever-song of Christ-like love,
He is Risen!

At the sepulchre we stand,
Clasping now the Saviour's hand.
Love has triumphed o'er the sod
And has proved that Life is God.
He is Risen!

Stricken hearts need weep no more
O'er the cross the Saviour bore.
Bloom the flowers, and rolled away
From the grave, the stone for aye.
He is Risen!
