Set Seasons

"The feasts of the Lord... ye shall proclaim in their seasons" (Leviticus 23:4). "These things shall be performed.... which shall be fulfilled in their season" (Luke 1:20).

The seasons were set with the lambs sacrificed,
And thus with prophetic perfection
The unblemished life and the death of the Christ
Were proclaimed with our Lord's resurrection.

The Passover Lamb, the Unleavened Bread,
And the Feast of the First Fruits proclaim,
That Christ would be slain, yet raised from the dead
And exalted above every name.

Now these things were set and proclaimed in their seasons,
And all of their types were fulfilled.
Since God girds our faith with such marvelous reasons,
Let contrary voices be stilled!
