O
Soul and body meet again;
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
no more pain!
And the flesh its Sabbath keep,
Waiting in a holy stillness,
wrapt in sleep.
Lies with feet toward the morn;
the last and brightest Easter
day be born.
Utters earnest prayer and strong,
Bursting at the Resurrection
into song.
Thenceforth nothing shall divide,
Waking up in C
satisfied.
Of that Resurrection day,
Which shall not through endless ages
pass away!
All the graves their dead restore;
Father, sister, child, and mother,
meet once more.
Bring us, J
To Thy Cross, through death and judgment,
holding fast.
