When darkness fell on Calvary’s hill
His light could not be quenched;
Forever He could not be killed
As with His Blood we’re drenched.
His life’s Blood spilled on all of us
Brings us His risen life,
As we by Holy Spirit trust
Our Father’s new-born light.
For on the third day He was raised
To always with us live,
As Trinity through Him we praise–
Forgiveness Father gives.
Each day we can encounter Him
In Body and His Blood;
He casts in darkness all our sin;
We’re washed in cleansing flood.
His light in world forever shines
And common peace we feel–
In wisdom see His perfect rhyme
That’s in us now revealed.
Our alpha and omega are
In His two hands, we know;
From Him we will be never far
For He holds each one close.
