Jesus Trail

My cousin's daughter and her husband spent this year playing various roles in Nazareth Village, a tourist attraction in Israel that helps people imagine life in Bible times. They were able to walk the Jesus Trail several times. She is interviewed in the short video above. Betsy and her husband Philip blog at Run Honey Run, listed to the right.

Doxology

Thank you to whoever posted this.

Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,
For Jesus hath risen, and man cannot die;
Vain were the terrors that gathered around Him,
And short the dominion of death and the grave;
He burst from the fetters of darkness that bound Him,
Resplendent in glory to live and to save!
Loud was the chorus of angels on high,
The Savior hath risen, and man shall not die.

Glory to God, in full anthems of joy;
The being He gave us death cannot destroy:
Sad were the life we must part with tomorrow,
If tears were our birthright, and death were our end;
But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow,
And bade us, immortal, to Heaven ascend:
Lift then your voices in triumph on high,
For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die.
