Cleopas's eyes were holden
(His earthbound thought aggrieved
by those who sought to stay
Christ's power)
Blind to what Jesus achieved.
No holden eye discerns, this morn,
the living proof now found;
Mary's love still whispers
"Rabboni"! joyous sound!
Powerless cross, empty tomb
erase all Thomas-doubt;
"He demonstrates eternal Life,"
the very angels shout.
With humbled heart I listen
to the Master's strong command
"Go, and do thou likewise"
(your Christliness expand).
Bright Easter morn, fresh dawning,
firms now my faltering step;
The Messiah opens holden eye,
His promise forever kept.
