The crying women saw a cross
And on it, all their love and loss.
They saw their Lord in empty cave,
No tomb of Life but death's own
grave.
The Saviour, victor over
death,
Proved Love, not atoms, Giver of
breath
As Science, moving men to awe,
Showed man's immortal life as law.
Many have loved God and felt His
grace
The centuries through in every
place,
Yet the full comfort of His care
Awaited scientific prayer.
Today, in God as Principle,
Our trust can be invincible;
Learning His laws unbreakable,
We put on joy unshakable.
Knowing that our Lord through law
doomed dying,
Seeing Love's law our needs
supplying,
Blessed by Life's law of pure
reflection,
We too partake of resurrection.*
*"Resurrection. Spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding." (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health, p. 593)
