At Nightfall

For the first time in human history

(since Adam and Eve sinned), the dark night drawn

across the sky above that garden tomb

was not (as old thought held) the harbinger

of evil, dread, disastrous choice, sure doom,

and (worse than all of them combinted) damnation.

But night has been changed---a great mystery---

proclaiming, in advance, delivery

in final form:  the Gospel of Salvation.

To this end, Christ has died.  Now, to assure

our faith---that through His Grace we have election

to real life and external exultation---

our Lord will soon reveal His Resurrection,

when His bright, morning Star precedes the dawn.

 

Starward
