The Death of
Darkness
The Dying of the Light...
June E M Carter
Here we sit in grief and weeping,
While the sun hides overhead.
All the earth is cloaked in shadow,
For the Son of God is dead.
With His Sacred Blood He washed us,
Poured it out upon the day,
And now all of light is creeping
Into darkness: sorrow's way.
See the Lamb of God descending
Into Hell where Satan stands.
See too where the nails were driven
Through His blessed feet and hands.
So He suffered thus for our sake,
Bowed His head and felt death's sting.
So the Temple split in pieces,
So the darkness lingering.
...THE LIGHT RESTORED
But Christ fights His mighty battle,
Smiting death at Satan's door,
Risen now, He is the Victor
And The Light; restored once more.
