Lyrics from Hymns for Christian Worship, 1909 (no. 380)
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 Easter morn. 4. But the soul in contemplation Utters earnest prayer and strong; Breaking 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, sister, child and mother, Meet once more. 8. To that brightest of all meetings Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last, To thy cross, thro' death and judgment, Holding fast.
