Analysis of Risen



No more does darkness creep,
reigns not gloom in heart,
but light and  heaven's glory
illuminate my path.

In Spring the buds await
the sun's first golden glow,
may we at Easter celebrate
resurrection, new-born hope.

A full, abundant life,
man's deep desires fulfilled,
riches God freely gives--
by grace-- beheld, received.
