Worship: 12 Noon

Reading: John 12:20-36

I have no wit, no words, no tears;

            My heart within me like a stone

Is numbed too much for hopes or fears;

            Look right, look left, I dwell alone;

I lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief

            No everlasting hills I see;

My life is in the falling leaf:

            O Jesus, quicken me.

My life is like a faded leaf,

            My harvest dwindled to a husk;

Truly my life is void and brief

            And tedious in the barren dusk;

My life is like a frozen thing,

            No bud nor greenness can I see:

Yet rise it shall - the sap of Spring;

            O Jesus, rise in me.

                        Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), "A Better Resurrection"
