It happens every Christmas, Lord,
but please don't let it happen
now at Easter, too!
By the day after Christmas
the merry is fading,
the joy receding,
the generous giving's over and done...
Let the joy of Easter last, O Lord,
for near as long
as lilies trumpet joyfully
your rising to new life...
Let Friday's passion
warm my soul
with deep desire,
fired by your sacrifice...
Wrap Thursday's towel
'round my heart,
reminding me to serve you
in everyone I know and meet...
Let the lessons of Lent
and my growth in faith
shape how I live, how I pray
and how I generously give...
Let the joy of Easter last, O Lord,
for near as long
as lilies trumpet joyfully
your rising to new life...
Amen!
