John_11-25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live

On the resurrection morning

Soul and body meet again;

No more sorrow, no more

weeping

No more pain!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here a while they must be parted,

And the flesh its Sabbath keep,

Waiting in a holy stillness,

Wrapt in sleep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a while the tired body

To its resting-place its borne

Till there dawns the last and

brightest

Easter morn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the soul in contemplation

Utters earnest prayer and strong,

 Breaking at the resurrection Into song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soul and body reunited

Thenceforth nothing shall divide

Waking up in Christ’s own likeness,

Satisfied.
