His Triumphant Sign

Three crosses on a hill are empty now,
Two thieves are dead and one who did no wrong,
And Devil thinks those three will to him bow,
For he believes his power is that strong.

But One who did no wrong is Father’s Son
Who had no sin and can’t be held by death
And rises from the dead—new life begun
For all who’re quickened by His Spirit’s breath.

For Adam New renews the human race,
And all creation joins in His new life
With love that’s given by His Triune grace—
Dispels earth’s darkness with His heaven’s light.

His crucifix is now triumphant sign;
He lives in what appears as bread and wine!
