1. Now the green blade riseth from the buried grain,
Wheat that in the dark earth many days has lain;
Love lives again, that with the dead has been:
Refrain
Love is come again,
Like wheat that springeth green.
2. In the grave they laid him, Love whom men had slain,
Thinking surely never he would wake again;
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Refrain
3. Forth he came in newness, like the risen grain,
He who thus for three days in the grave had lain,
Quick from the dead my risen Lord is seen:
Refrain
4. When our hearts are wintry, grieving or in pain,
Thy soft touch can call us back to life again,
Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been:
Refrain
