Two Easter Poems


Did Jesus Really Live Again?,
Did Jesus really live again?
Yes, when the third day came,
He wakened and he left the tomb;
He called Mary’s name.

Did Jesus come to those he loved?
Yes, people touched his feet,
And of the fish and honeycomb
He did truly eat.

And there were nail-prints in his hands
And a spear wound in his side.
Did Jesus really live again
After he had died?  Oh yes! And so shall I!
Words: Mabel Jones Gabbott


On a Golden Springtime
On a golden springtime,
underneath the ground,
A tiny seedling lay asleep
until the sun shone down.
Awake, awake, O little seed!
Push upward to the light!
The day is bright.
With all your might,
push upward to the light!

On a golden springtime,
Jesus Christ awoke
And left the tomb
where he had lain;
the bands of death he broke.
Awake, awake, O sleeping world!
Look upward to the light,
For now all men may live again.
Look upward to the light!

On a golden springtime,
in a forest glade,
The Father & the Son appeared
as Joseph knelt and prayed.
Awake, awake, O nations all!
Receive the gospel light!
The gospel true is here for you.
Receive its glorious light!
Words by Virginia Maughan Kammeyer
