How Rich, at Eastertide
How Rich, at Eastertide
Author: Joachim Oudaen; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #329 (1985) Meter: 6.7.6.7 D Lyrics: 1 How rich, at Eastertide,
the harvest we are reaping,
for Christ, the Crucified,
gives comfort to the weeping.
Saved by his bitter death,
with all our sins forgiven,
we learn to live by faith,
for now is Christ arisen.
2 As first-gifts hallow all
if offered in thanksgiving,
so Christ has died for all,
the First of all the living.
Wherefore, the blessed dead,
who else had vainly striven,
are on with him, their Head,
for Christ is now arisen.
3 The Lord, who taught the way
of dying and forsaking,
shall bring us to that day
of our complete awaking.
Then let no ill destroy
the hope we have of heaven:
come, serve our God with joy,
for now is Christ arisen.

How Rich, at Eastertide
Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Translator of "How Rich, at Eastertide" in Rejoice in the Lord The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
