Editor,
Celebrating Easter often reflects a broad variety of public opinion, including beautiful bonnets, baskets of eggs, fragrant bouquets and sumptuous buffets, etc. Thankfully, many folks in the valley and further afield see beyond the temporal trappings; they made their way to places of worship once again Sunday to express their love to the living Savior who died for them, was buried and three days after his burial, came to life again.
Many worshippers were reminded of the hymn written by P. P. Bliss, who penned these stirring words:
“Man of sorrows! What a name, For the Son of God, who came; Ruined sinners to reclaim! Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place, condemned he stood, Sealed my pardon with His blood; Hallelujah, what a Savior. Guilty, vile and helpless we, Spotless Lamb of God was He; Full atonement! Can it be? Hallelujah, what a Savior! Lifted up was He to die, “It is finished” was His cry; Now in heaven exalted high; Hallelujah, what a Savior! When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring, Then anew this song we’ll sing; Hallelujah, what a Savior!”
