EN 5298 On the Resurrection Morning
1Thess.4.16
Versi Version 1
1
On the resurrection morning,
Soul and body meet again,
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain.
2
Here awhile they must be parted,
And the flesh its Sabbath keep,
Waiting in a holy stillness,
Wrapped in sleep.
3
For a while the wearied body
Lies with feet toward the morn;
Till the last and brightest Easter
Day be born.
4
But the soul in contemplation,
Utters earnest prayer and strong,
Bursting at the resurrection
Into song.
5
Soul and body reunited
Thenceforth nothing shall divide,
Waking up in Christ’s own likeness
Satisfied.
6
O the beauty, O the gladness
Of that resurrection day,
Which shall not through endless ages
Pass away!
7
On that happy Easter morning
All the graves their dead restore,
Father, mother, sister, brother,
Meet once more.
8
To that brightest of all meetings
Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last,
By thy cross, through death and judgment,
Holding fast.
