One time, a long time ago, on Easter Weekend, my mom told me she woke up laughing in joy over Christ’s resurrection. I thought how grand a faith that must be because I had never experienced anything like that. Since then I have. In the middle of the night last night I awoke with the lyrics of the song Up From the Grave He Arose on my heart. I went right back to sleep. One of the soundest foundations for our faith is the great hymns. Few things sustained us in the dark and bright hours of our lives like the great songs of our faith. We rarely sing them at my church. I wonder if the songs we are learning today will awake the young in peace when they find themselves in their greying years? I prayed they will. “Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior, Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!”
