Once referred to as “the only truly authentic Easter hymn,” the Christian song “Now The Green Blade Riseth” reflects on the resurrection of Jesus and his love that can be found throughout the beauty of nature in springtime.
Penned by English priest John Macleod Campbell Crum, the gentle tune was one of many he wrote during his tenure with the Church of England. The song’s comforting message, beautiful imagery, and poetic verses made it his signature hymn.
