Happy Easter Georgios and all Adlanders.  Click the picture below to hear the music to LOW IN THE GRAVE.  Words & Music: Ro­bert Low­ry, 1874;

                  

One of my favorites hymn is the old song LOW IN THE GRAVE

I found a website that has the words....and the site owner y has the music so you can hear the sweet old tune. 

He is Risen,  Pat 

Here is the link: Low in the Grave He Lay

 

LOW IN THE GRAVE HE LAY

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

Death cannot keep its Prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

THE SON
 
 Years ago, there was a very wealthy man who, with his devoted young
 son, shared a passion for art collecting. Together they traveled
 around the world, adding only the finest art treasures to their
 collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many
 others adorned the walls of the family estate.
 
 The widowed elder man looked on with satisfaction, as his only child
 became an experienced art collector. The son's trained eye and sharp
 business mind caused his father to beam with pride as they dealt with
 art collectors around the world.
 
 As winter approached, war engulfed the nation, and the young man left
 to serve his country. After only a few short weeks, his father
 received a telegram.  His beloved son was missing in action. The art
 collector anxiously awaited more news, fearing he would never see his
 son again.
 
 Within days, his fears were confirmed. The young man had died while
 rushing a fellow soldier to a medic.
 
 Distraught and lonely, the old man faced the upcoming Easter holidays
 with anguish and sadness. The joy of the season, a season that he and
 his son had so looked forward to, would visit his house no longer. On
 Easter morning, a knock on the door awakened the depressed old man.
 
 As he walked to the door, the masterpieces of art on the walls only
 reminded him that his son was not coming home. As he opened the door,
 he was greeted by a soldier with a large package in his hand. He
 introduced himself to the man by saying, "I was a friend of your son.
 I was the one he was rescuing when he died. May I come in for a few
 moments? I have something to show you."
 
 As the two began to talk, the soldier told of how the man's son had
 told everyone of his father's love of fine art. "I'm an artist," said
 the soldier, "and I want to give you this." As the old man unwrapped
 the package, the paper gave way to reveal a portrait of the man's
 son. Though the world would never consider it the work of a genius,
 the painting featured the young man's face in striking detail.
 Overcome with emotion, the man thanked the soldier, promising to hang
 the picture above the fireplace.  A few hours later, after the
 soldier had departed, the old man set about his task.
 
 True to his word, the painting went above the fireplace, pushing
 aside thousands of dollars of paintings. And then the man sat in his
 chair and spent Easter gazing at the gift he had been given. During
 the days and weeks that followed, the man realized that even though
 his son was no longer with him, the boy's life would live on because
 of those he had touched. He would soon learn that his son had rescued
 dozens of wounded soldiers before a bullet stilled his caring heart.
 
 As the stories of his son's gallantry continued to reach him,
 fatherly pride and satisfaction began to ease the grief. The painting
 of his son soon became his most prized possession, far eclipsing any
 interest in the pieces for which museums around the world clamored.
 He told his neighbors it was the greatest gift he had ever received.
 The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. The art
 world was in anticipation.
 
 With the collector's passing, and his only son dead, those paintings
 would be sold at an auction. According to the will of the old man,
 all of the art works would be auctioned on Easter day, the day he had
 received his greatest gift.
 
 The day soon arrived and art collectors from around the world
 gathered to bid on some of the world's most spectacular paintings.
 Dreams would be fulfilled this day; greatness would be achieved as
 many would claim "I have the greatest collection." The auction began
 with a painting that was not on any museum's list. It was the
 painting of the man's son. The auctioneer asked for an opening bid.
 The room was silent. "Who will open the bidding with $100?" he asked.
 Minutes passed. No one spoke. From the back of the room came, "Who
 cares about that painting? It's just a picture of his son.
 
 Let's forget it and go on to the good stuff." More voices echoed in
 agreement. "No, we have to sell this one first," replied the
 auctioneer.
 
 "Now, who will take the son?" Finally, a friend of the old man spoke.
 
 "Will you take ten dollars for the painting? That's all I have. I
 knew the boy, so I'd like to have it." "I have ten dollars. Will
 anyone go higher?" called the auctioneer. After more silence, the
 auctioneer said, "Going once, going twice. Gone." The gavel fell.
 Cheers filled the room and someone exclaimed, "Now we can get on with
 it and we can bid on these treasures!" The auctioneer looked at the
 audience and announced the auction was over.
 
 Stunned disbelief quieted the room. Someone spoke up and asked, "What
 do you mean it's over? We didn't come here for a picture of some old
 guy's son.  What about all of these paintings? There are millions of
 dollars of art here! I demand that you explain what's going on here!"
 The auctioneer replied, "It's very simple. According to the will of
 the father, whoever takes the son . . . gets it all!"
 
 Just as those art collectors discovered on that Easter day, the
 message is still the same - the love of a Father - a Father whose
 greatest joy came from His Son who went away and gave his life
 rescuing others. And because of that Father's love...whoever takes
 the Son gets it all.
 
 
Happy Easter to all and God bless,  Jill and Cal
