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 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 to 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, Jesu Christ, at last,
 By thy Cross, through death and judgement,
 Holding fast.
