Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: On the Resurrection morning

I shall be satisfied I awake with Thy likeness. Ps.17:15

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,
    Wrapt in sleep.

3. For a space the tired Body
    Lies with feet toward the dawn,
    Till there breaks the last and
    Brightest Eastern morn.

4. But the soul in contemplation
    Utters earnest pray'r 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. Oh! The beauty, oh! 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, sister, child, and mother,
    Meet once more.

8. To that brightest of all meetings
    Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last;
    To Thy Cross, through death and
    Judgment, holding fast.

Amen.
