Sunday 17th April 2022 Easter Day

On Easter Morn Ere Break Of Day   Sung by the Greek Church at Lauds on Easter Day  Melody: The Bashful Lover

This is a jolly tune, being almost a hornpipe so goes along at a fair pace. But the words are from the Greek Church, traditionally sung at Easter. It describes the three Marys arriving at Christ's tomb and finding him gone. But this is a tremendous thing as the Bible foretold Christ's ressurection for the good of all mankind.

The music was set to a poem by Robert Burns On a bank of flowers ae simmer day.
