Now the Green blade rises

French carol Noel Nouvelet played on guitar by Brad Sondahl
Now the green blade rises from the buried grain,
Wheat that in the dark earth many years has lain;
Love lives again, that with the dead has been:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

In the grave they laid Him, Love Whom we had slain,
Thinking that Hed never wake to life again,
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

Up He sprang at Easter, like the risen grain,
He that for three days in the grave had lain;
Up from the dead my risen Lord is seen:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

When our hearts are saddened, grieving or in pain,
By Your touch You call us back to life again;
Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

hey any chance you have a guitar tab for this song? or can you point me in the direction of finding one?

Thanks

[bsondahl]

no, and no. I don't read or write tabs, so you're out of luck.

[jigsaw2888]

you should post the lyrics on the side, even though you aren't singing them, they are still amazing, and I found myself trying to remember them as you played.

[bsondahl]

done. Good idea.

Yes, if you remove the words from a religious text, it removes the specific religious content, but not the spirituality, which is universal...

This song always moves me, especially singing it. This is the only version of it I've found here that holds the sweetness and simpleness of it and that lets the melody shine for what it is. It is like music minus one, I just listened to it a few times through to appreciate the playing and then sang the song to it. I wonder who else has done that. Maybe at the same time as me. We could have an Easter jam session one year not hearing each other but just knowing that others are out there singing!

Beautiful

Oh, lovely! Thank you for a beautiful playing of this song. It's always been a particular favorite of mine on the pipe organ, and now this lighter more melodic version you've played on guitar gives it yet another spin. Simply delightful!

Beautiful. You do the tune justice!

我心悲慘傷痛，

冷酷像嚴冬，

我寂寞的心田，

凄涼如荒塚，

賴主撫慰，

使我得新生命，

@foreverfluteplayer 祂被放進泥裏， 那愛被殺害， 人們都以為 祂不會醒過來， 像那種籽 、 泥中安恬靜， 如今愛再來臨， 像麥苗青青。 在復活日來臨， 像種籽生長， 曾經睡在墳裏， 歷三天時光； 轉瞬之間， 由死寂中復興， 如今愛再來臨， 像麥苗青青。

[foreverfluteplayer]

【青苗生長歌】 種籽躺臥泥中， 粒粒地裏藏， 麥子發芽生長， 青苗長成秧； 象徵那愛， 從死亡中甦醒， 如今愛再來臨， 像麥苗青青。 祂被放進泥裏， 那愛被殺害， 人們都以為 祂不會醒過來， 像那種籽 、 泥中安恬靜， 如今愛再來臨， 像麥苗青青。
