   In thy hand, we see the whole cosmos, Heaven and earth reflect  the mystery of thy handiwork. In thy hand, we see a little child, Men and women are recaptured  by the event of Bethlehem. In thy hand, we see the scar of the cross. Sin and death are vanquished  by thy suffering on Golgotha. In thy hand, behold a new light, Day and night are transformed  in the glory of Easter morning.
